Instructions

Prep Instructions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees
Lightly coat 2 13x9 pans, or a very large cookie sheet, with cooking spray
If using 2 13x9 pans, divide the potatoes evenly between the 2, or spread them out onto a large cookie sheet. They should be one layer of potatoes. If there are too many in the pan they won't crisp evenly.
Evenly pour 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil over the potatoes.
Bake potatoes for 15 minutes. Turn and bake for another 7 minutes. Check the potatoes for even crispiness on all sides. If not, stir them around and continue to cook at 5 minute intervals until they are crispy and deep golden brown. Once done, divide evenly into bowls.

While Potatoes Bake:

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
Crumble sausage or other meat choice into pan and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Drain sausage on a paper towel before dividing into bowls evenly.
Wipe the grease out of the pan and use it for scrambling your eggs.

Eggs:

In a medium sized bowl whisk together eggs and ¼ cup of milk until well blended.
Return pan used to cook sausage to stove top over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil.
Pour eggs into pan, and immediately start scrapping and mixing the eggs in the pan for a good 20 seconds. (This will help you achieve a very fluffy scrambled egg.)
Let cook 30 seconds more, and continue to scrap and turn eggs. Just enough to ensure that they don't brown on the bottom.
Cook your eggs until they are done, but not dry. Divide evenly among bowls.

To Finish Bowls:

Once the potatoes, sausage, and eggs are divided into your 12 bowls. Give each bowl one turnwith a spoon to lightly mix those ingredients together.
Top each bowl with about 2 tbsp. shredded cheddar cheese.
Cover each bowl with Press 'n' Seal, making sure to press the plastic wrap lightly down aroundthe food to get any air out before sealing the plastic wrap around the bowls edges. Freeze.

To Heat and Eat:

Remove bowl from freezer and remove the plastic wrap. Heat in the microwave for 1 ½ minutes, or at 30 second intervals until heated through. Enjoy!

Notes

If you are using bacon, cook, drain and crumble into bowls. For link sausage, cook, drain. Mix egg and potatoes first, top with cheese, then place 2 sausages in each bowl.
