Cheap and Easy “Simple Scrambles”
You may be familiar with the "Jimmy Dean Simply Scrambles," which are fantastic but rather expensive. The first time I opened one up I thought, "Hey, I can prepare this myself!" Here is our recipe that we like to use, though I typically do 3-5x as much at a time as is called for in the recipe. You can easily store these in the fridge or the freezer (and then the fridge to thaw) for later use.
Servings: 10 bags or cups
Calories: 683.89kcal
Ingredients
The meat and cheese mix - prep in bulk for later use.
- 1 pound bacon ends and pieces
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 1 pound grated cheese
Used to actually make the cups
- 20-30 large eggs
- 10 each snack size bags
- 10 12-16 oz paper cups for hot drinks
Instructions
Pre-Prep of bags
- Cut up the bacon into smaller pieces.
- Add the sausage. (I'm tripling the recipe in these photos FYI.)
- Cook it all together.
- If you're a wimp (or rather if your kids can't handle the amount of fat), you can drain the meat.
- Let the meat cool, best to use the refrigerator so it doesn't get gross. Put about 1/2 cup of the meat mix into snack size bags
- Add about 1/4 cup of grated cheese to each bag
- Seal them, you can get out most of the air so they store smaller.
- Admire your work. You can put the smaller bags into a larger bag and store it in the fridge or even the freezer.
To use the bags to make breakfast
- Get the eggs, a large paper cup for hot liquids, a fork, and the meat mix.
- Crack 1-3 eggs into the cup. We typically use two eggs.
- See, eggs!
- Add the meat and cheese mixture.
- Stir it with a fork. Microwave (without the fork) for about 1 minute on high.
- Stir it again. (You can use the same fork, don't be a sissy.) Microwave again for 30-60 seconds.
- Check and see if it's done. If it's not: nuke it some more!
- If you're feeling awesome, make some of the Keto Chow Savory Biscuits and eat your breakfast in style!
