Ingredients
Scale
Sausage and Potatoes
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Eggs and Toppings
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your preference)
- 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and cooked through. Once done, remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside.
- Prepare the Potatoes: In the same skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the diced potatoes and season them with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the potatoes evenly with the spices.
- Cook the Potatoes: Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and golden brown.
- Whisk the Eggs: While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together eggs and milk in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Scramble the Eggs: In a separate non-stick skillet, scramble the eggs over medium heat until fully cooked. Remove them from heat.
- Combine Sausage and Potatoes: Once the potatoes are done cooking, return the cooked sausage to the skillet and mix it well with the potatoes.
- Portion the Mixture: Divide the sausage and potato mixture among meal prep containers.
- Add Eggs and Cheese: Top each portion with scrambled eggs and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. The heat from the potatoes and sausage will gently melt the cheese.
- Garnish: Garnish with chopped green onions.
- Store the Bowls: Allow the meal prep bowls to cool completely before sealing them with lids. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Notes
- Use any cheese you prefer for melting, such as cheddar or mozzarella.
- Make sure potatoes are cooked through and golden for the best texture.
- These bowls reheat well in the microwave or on the stovetop.
- Adjust seasoning according to taste preferences, adding more spices if desired.
- For a lower-fat option, use turkey sausage and egg whites instead of whole eggs.
