Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Ground Sausage Rich flavor; substitute with turkey sausage or plant-based options.
  • 2 cups Diced Potatoes Frozen hash browns can save time.
  • 4 large Eggs Use egg whites or silken tofu for a vegan version.
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Substitute with avocado oil for a different flavor.
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder Fresh garlic works well too.
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder Diced onions can be used if you prefer fresh.
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika Replace with regular paprika if necessary.
  • to taste Salt Season with herbs for added flavor.
  • to taste Pepper Season to taste.
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheese Optional; can use dairy-free cheese for a vegan option.
  • 3 tbsp Chopped Green Onions Substitute with chives or omit if preferred.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the diced potatoes and season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the potatoes evenly.
  3. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and golden brown.
  4. While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together eggs and milk in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  5. In a separate non-stick skillet, scramble the eggs over medium heat until fully cooked. Remove from heat.
  6. Once the potatoes are done cooking, return the cooked sausage to the skillet and mix well with the potatoes.
  7. Divide the sausage and potato mixture among meal prep containers.
  8. Top each portion with scrambled eggs and a sprinkle of shredded cheese, allowing the heat from the potatoes and sausage to gently melt the cheese.
  9. Garnish with chopped green onions.
  10. Allow the meal prep bowls to cool completely before sealing with lids. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

Avoid overcooking the potatoes to prevent them from becoming mushy. You can customize by adding veggies like bell peppers or spinach.
