Ingredients & Tools

4 pieces of bacon

1/2 cup of cheese

Nonstick skillet or cast iron pan

Instructions

    This Recipe takes about 20 minutes to complete - Quick, Easy and Tasty!

  1. Put bacon in skillet - Cook the bacon until it's nice and crispy and the fat has rendered. This just means that the fat has been separated from the bacon. The less fat in the bacon, the crispier it is, so cook it to your preferred crunchiness.
    Once it's done, put the bacon on a paper towel and leave some fat in the skillet.

  2. Load the skillet with your diced potatoes and cook until they're good and golden.

  3. Now it's time to add veggies - the onions and peppers to the potatoes.

  4. Return the bacon to the pan and add in the flavor:
    Mix in the cream, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper.
    Then mix everything well, letting it simmer over low heat until thickened.

  5. Cut the heat and add the cheese and green onions. Then watch it turn into melty, gooey goodness while you fry up your eggs.

  6. Spoon out the hash and eggs and dig in!

    "This was really good. Great flavor, can't wait to make it again. It's easy to make a double batch then reheat and throw a fried egg on top."

    "Just made this for lunch for my husband and me (really procrastinating when you make a decadent breakfast dish in the middle of a work day). It was delicious and we had to force ourselves to put the leftovers in the fridge. However, when I poured in the cream I lost all the pretty color in the potatoes and veggies - it looked like gray mush. Not pretty like you photo, but amazingly delicious. Maybe I put in too much cream?"
