Campfire Sausage Hash Brown Cups

Making campfire sausage hash brown cups can be a fun and delicious outdoor cooking experience. Here’s a simplified version of the recipe that you can prepare over a campfire:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound (about 450g) frozen hash browns, thawed
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage
• 8 large eggs
• Cooking spray or foil for the campfire cooking surface

Instructions:

• Prepare Campfire: Set up your campfire with a cooking grate or a suitable cooking surface. Ensure you have a good bed of hot coals.
• Mix Hash Browns: In a bowl, mix the thawed hash browns with melted butter, salt, pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese.
• Form Cups: Divide the hash brown mixture into portions. Form each portion into a cup shape, pressing them onto the bottom and up the sides of heatproof camping dishes or foil packets. Make sure the cups are sturdy.
• Cook Hash Browns: Place the hash brown cups on the cooking grate or suitable surface over the campfire. Cook for about 10-15 minutes or until the cups are crispy and golden brown. Keep an eye on them and adjust the distance from the flames as needed.
• Cook Sausage: While the hash brown cups are cooking, heat the breakfast sausage in a skillet or directly on the campfire grate.
• Assemble Cups: Once the hash brown cups are cooked, add a spoonful of the cooked sausage into each cup.
• Crack Eggs: Crack one egg into each hash brown cup on top of the sausage.
• Cover and Cook Eggs: Cover the cups with a lid, foil, or another heatproof plate to help the eggs cook. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the eggs are done to your liking.
• Serve: Carefully remove the hash brown cups from the campfire. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Remember to monitor the heat from the campfire and adjust accordingly. Cooking times may vary based on the intensity of the heat. Enjoy your campfire sausage hash brown cups!
