Mountain Man Breakfast

They call this recipe "Mountain Man Breakfast." But I have found that it doesn't matter what gender you are. On those cold camp mornings, this is a dish that will please any mountain or valley people!

Ingredients:
1 lb bacon
1 large onion, chopped
1 32oz bag O'brian potatoes
12 eggs, beaten
1/2 lb pepper cheese, grated
1 jar salsa
1 1/2 lbs grated cheddar cheese

Cookware:
12 inch Dutch Oven

Instructions:

1. Pre heat Dutch oven.

2. Cut bacon into small pieces and cook bacon and onion until clear.

3. Remove mixture and add O'brian potatoes. Do not rain bacon drippings.

4. Fry until golden brown. Stir bacon mixture back in, then add eggs. Cover and cook until eggs are almost solid.

5. Sprinkle with cheese and continue cooking until eggs are set and cheese melted. Serve with salsa.

Note: Fire Mountain style -- add 1 tbs chili powder, 2 tsp red pepper, and 1 tsp tobasco sauce to egg mixture before cooking.
