Breakfast For Dinner

I was so excited to finally feel well enough to cook for my family so I tried to think of one of their most favorite things to eat.  I came up with....breakfast.  Breakfast foods are probably the most popular thing at my house.   We love pancakes, waffles, biscuits and gravy, pretty much anything that has to do with morning time foods.  One of their most favorite breakfasts that I make is hash.  I just throw hash browns, any breakfast meat, any veg that I have in the fridge, into a pan and cook it together.  Top with an egg and maybe some salsa and it becomes one of our most beloved weekend breakfasts.  I decided that was what I was going to make.  I wanted to "dinner it up" so I decided to take out the hash browns and turn it into a hash stuffed twice baked potato.  Let me tell you, it was amazing!  My family loved it so it's definatly going into our regular repertiore.  I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine did.

Hash Stuffed Twice Bakers

4 medium to large russet potaoes, baked and cooled
1 lb bulk breakfast sausage (could also use ham or bacon)
1 each red, yellow, green bell pepper, diced
1 red onion, diced
1 lb  cremeni mushrooms, sliced (could also use button)
1 jalepeno, minced
8 eggs, cooked how you like (optional)
cilantro (optional)

Cut potatoes in half legthwise and scoop out middles, leaving about 1/4 of flesh in to hold the skins together.  Put halves on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper, then bake for 15 mins at 400 until crisp.  In the meantime, brown your sausage in a pan (cast iron is perfect for this).Once browned remove leaving drippings in pan.  Add your vegetables and saute until crisp tender and the mushrooms have browned.  Add back your sausage and warm through.  Spoon filling into potato skins (you could top with a little cheese if you would like) and then top with an egg of your choice.  Sprinkle with cilantro.  *note:  you could also add in your potato middles and brown them after your meat.  I chose to save those for another day.
