Ingredients

  • No stick cooking spray
  • 1/2 LB ground sausage mild or spicy
  • 4 slices bacon cut in small pieces
  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cups sweet potato diced (or 1 medium sweet potato)
  • 3 cups frozen potatoes o'brien with peppers and onions
  • 1 cup ham chopped
  • 1 small apple peeled and chopped
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Spray a 10-inch cast iron skillet with no stick cooking spray. Heat grill to around 350 degrees and open lid to cook on. (May do these next few steps on a side burner of grill over medium heat if one is available).
  • Crumble and brown sausage. Remove to a paper towel lined plate and set aside. Wipe skillet clean with paper towels.
  • Place bacon in the skillet and fry until crisp. Remove bacon to plate with sausage, and leave grease in skillet. Add the vegetable oil.
  • Add the sweet potatoes and potatoes o'brien to skillet, cover and cook 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the sausage, ham, and apple. Using the back of a tablespoon, make 4 indentations in the mixture. Crack eggs, one at a time, and pour into each hole. Season with the salt and pepper. Cover with lid and place skillet on the grill. Close grill lid.
  • Cook for about 10-12 minutes, until eggs are cooked to desired doneness.
  • When eggs are almost done, remove the skillet lid, sprinkle with cheese and bacon, and return to grill until cheese is melted.
  • Carefully remove hot skillet from the grill and serve immediately.

Helpful Tips:
Can I use a cast iron skillet directly on a grill?
Yes. Cast iron is designed to handle high heat. The skillet on the grill gives food a great sear. The potatoes in this recipe get a good, crispy crust. I have cooked many recipes in a cast iron skillet directly on the grill grates.
