Ingredients

  • 3 cups hash browns
  • 16 ounces fresh sausage, crumbled
  • 6 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
  • biscuit dough, enough for 6 biscuits
  • 4 tablespoons butter or oil

Tools

  • Dutch oven
  • Small bowl
  • Spatula
  • Spoon
  • Plate

Method

  1. Preheat the dutch oven in the campfire or on a grate.
  2. Place the sausage in the dutch oven with half of the butter or oil, and cook until browned, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven and set aside.
  3. Add the hash browns with the rest of the butter or oil. Brown on one side and flip.
  4. Layer back in the cooked sausage on top of the hash browns.
  5. Add the beaten eggs atop the sausage, which is going to run down into all the lower layers.
  6. Sprinkle cheese on top of the egg.
  7. Spoon big dollops of biscuit dough around the top of the eggs until generall covered.
  8. Place lid of the dutch oven on top, making sure it fits tightly around. Place the dutch oven directly in the campfire over some glowing coals but away from the flames. Add 4-8 large glowing coals to the top of the lid.
  9. Check and rotate the oven occasionally, ensuring that no ash spills into the food when you open the lid.
  10. Breakfast is done when the biscuits are browned and fluffy on the inside. Slice big hunks out as a serving.
