DIRECTIONS
Cook bacon to desired doneness in a cast iron skillet over the slow burning coals of a campfire. Remove bacon from the skillet and set aside. Stir the potatoes and onion into the hot bacon fat. Cover, and cook until the potatoes are soft, about 10 to 12 minutes.
Crumble the bacon into the potatoes. Stir in the eggs, cover, and cook until set through, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with the cheese, and allow to melt before serving.

I have made this dish many times over the years. Its a warm, hearty, one pan start to a day outdoors. I use canned potatoes for easy preparation. Another trick is to precook the bacon, if you want the convenience of less refrigeration, smaller space consumption. You do need some of the fat for cooking the potatoes so dont make it too crisp. Happy trails.

This is an excellent dish and can be done in a frying pan on the stove in the same way.

Very good. Did this in a pan on the stove. I used frozen cubed hash browns w/onions and cooked in the bacon grease. Very easy to make.

Loved this recipe. My family and I loved it. I like being able to prepare something that everyone loves in one dish. I did not use a castiron skillet, but a large non stick skillet instead and it turned out great even cooked on the stove. I did pre cook the potatoes in the microwave to speed things along and also pre cut the bacon before cooking to save time. Will make again

I grew up on this meal and we often had it for a quick dinner. I also use it as an adult and my own family loves it anytime of the day. We sometimes use different breakfast meats for a quick change up.

This was really good, but I thought it needed more eggs. Family loved it as written. Thank you.
