This recipe is in almost every dutch oven cookbook ever printed, and is also in most Lodge cookbooks.
For 8 people:
- 2 lbs of sausage
- 20 oz. of hash browns
- 8 eggs
- 2 cups of shredded cheese
Put 24 coals under a 12" dutch oven. Without the lid, fry the sausage in thr oven. Once sausage is browned, remove and store on paper towel on inverted lid. Wipe out any excess grease in the oven, if any. Dump in the hash browns and brown. Dump the sausge on top of the hashbrowns. Beat the eggs and pour oven the sausage. Sprinkle the cheese on top. Take 2/3 of the coals from the bottom of the oven and put on the lid. Cook until the cheese is melted.
On our last campout we executed the same recipe but used a 14" dutch oven and changed the quantities to:
3 lbs of sausage
30 oz. of hash browns
12 eggs
4 cups of shredded cheese
We also used 32 charcoal briquettes.
Those quantities worked well, although 18 eggs may have been better. Either way, the recipe is excellent.
