Skillet Egg, Potato, and Sausage

Happy Sunday!
When one wakes up closer to noon than not, what does one make – Brunch!

Today, it was just me and the hubby.  I had saved this recipe off Pinterest a few weeks back and I have been craving it since.  As we sat down to eat, the first tiny snow flurries of the season began to fall.  Someone tried to tell me it was just pine needles falling from the trees, however, when I know pine needles are not tiny, white and snowflake-like, he wasn’t fooling me!  At least I had a delicious comfort food to drown my sorrows.

• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1 package (12-16 oz) sausage links, cut into small bite sized chunks
• 1 onion, diced
• 3 potatoes, diced small
• 1 red pepper, diced
• 8 eggs, lightly beaten
• ½ cup milk
• ½ tsp. garlic powder
• Salt and ground pepper to taste
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat on the stove.
3. Add the diced sausage, cooking for 4-5 minutes or until it is no longer pink.
4. Drain, leaving sausage in the skillet and add the potatoes, onions and red pepper.
5. In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, milk, garlic powder, and salt and pepper.
6. Pour egg mixture over potato mixture in the skillet.
7. Cover skillet with a lid, lower heat to medium-low and let cook for 10 minutes (don't stir it during this time).
8. Remove lid and continue to cook in the oven, for 10-15 minutes, or until egg mixture is set.
9. Remove skillet from the oven and sprinkle with cheese.
10. Let stand for a couple of minutes or until the cheese is melted.
