Story
I had a friend who lived alone. He kept potatoes, eggs, cheese, and onions in his kitchen. He threw this simple meal together anytime he wanted a quick meal. Saved A LOT of money and fed a lot of friends with this dish. We took inspiration and added a few of Big D’s flavors.
This is easy to make. It is perfect for any meal. We like to make this for Mother’s Day Brunch.
If you follow this technique, you will be able to make it in one pan. You can increase the size of your pan and increase ingredients to feed a crew. Cook it low and slow!
Ingredients
5 Tbs. Oil (I prefer olive oil if I am adding bacon. If I don’t have any meat that day, I use bacon grease for added flavor).
1/2 -1 onion
4 slices bacon (other meats can be substituted, such as steak, ham, sausage)
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
2 medium-sized red potatoes
2 -3 eggs (this is your choice. Depends on how many you want to feed)
1-2 oz cheese (use what you have. I used medium cheddar today.)
Big D’s Q STEAK OUT
Big D’s Q GAME ON
Equipment Needed
One medium-sized skillet, with top if possible
Spatula for stirring
Sharp knife
Cutting board
Pour 5 Tbsp. of oil into the pan and turn on medium heat. Once the oil starts to sizzle, pour in onions. Turn the heat to low and give it a good stir!
Slice the bacon into small cubes. Put in pan and stir. Keep the heat on low to let this cook slowly as you are prepping other ingredients.
Cut up bell peppers (avoiding the seeds, core, and the with pith that lines the inside) and coarsely chop.
Place the chopped red and green bell peppers into the pan and stir. Keep that heat on low, we need this to cook slowly as we peel and cut up the potatoes.
I like to peel my potatoes and hold them in my hand over the skillet while I cut them into 1/4 inch pieces. Immediately let them drop into the pan and begin to cook. This will help cut down on the overall cooking time. I stir to get the potatoes to the bottom of the pan closest to the heat.
Stir and cover the pot while you complete the next step. This will help with cooking faster.
If you don’t have a top, go change a load of laundry or watch a Tik Tok. Give it about 5 minutes and then come back and start the next steps. Give it a stir along the way to prevent sticking.
Crack two eggs (or how many you want to use).
Tilt the bowl to a 45-degree angle and move the whisk back and forth quickly (tilting and back and forth motion will mix the yellow and white more efficiently than circle motions.
Crumble or cut up the cheese and drop it into the bowl AFTER you’ve whisked the eggs. Whisk again to mix the cheese into the eggs. This will help form cheesy eggs when you add them to the pan.
Pour in pan.
Sprinkle with Big D’s Q Steak Out. (Substitute salt and pepper if you don’t have this amazing seasoning yet)
Sprinkle Big D’s Q Game On seasoning to had some herbs, turmeric (great for your health), and other great seasonings. Give it a stir and you are ready to plate.
Instructions
Add 5 Tbsp. olive oil to skillet. Heat with medium heat. Once hot, lower to low.
Coarsely chop 1/2 - 1 onion. (Make a choice depending on how much you like onion). Add to pan and stir.
Slice 4 pieces of bacon into cubes. Add to pan. Stir to make sure bacon is in contact with the bottom of the pan.
Remove the core and seeds from red and green bell pepper. Coarsely chop. Add to pan. Stir.
Peel 2 medium-size potatoes. Cut into 1/4 slices. Add to pan. Stir so potatoes are touching the bottom of the pan. Cover.
Crack 2 eggs in a small bowl. Tilt bowl to 45-degree angle and whish with a side to side motion.
Crumble (or cut) cheese and add to the whisked eggs. Whisk again to mix the cheese into eggs.
Pour eggs over ingredients in the pan and quickly stir. This will help give even distribution and prevent overcooking.
Sprinkle with Big D’s Q GAME ON and STEAK OUT. Stir.
Plate and eat!
