Ingredients: (to serve 4 to six campers)

  • Sage sausage – one 16oz. package
  • Hashbrowns – diced or shredded – one 26oz. package frozen hashbrowns, or two 16oz. dairy-case hashbrowns (like Betty Crocker “Simply Hashbrowns”)
  • Eggs – one dozen

  • Salt & Pepper – season to taste – approx. 1.5 tspn. salt and 1 tspn. pepper

Directions
  1. Cook bacon strips until well browned and crispy. Remove bacon, but do not drain skillet.
  2. Crumble the sausage into the skillet and cook, (over high heat), until browned.
  3. Use the spatula to chop the sausage while it cooks to avoid ending up with large chunks or semi-patties. You want to end up with the texture of cooked hamburger 
  4. Remove the cooked sausage, (do not drain skillet), and set aside. Then add hash browns and cook, (over high heat), until browned.  The bottom of the skillet should be covered with the bacon and sausage grease – if not add a little cooking oil until it is.
  5. Don’t over-stir these. Use the spatula to turn them a couple times at approx. 5-minute intervals
  6. Scramble the eggs in a bowl while the hashbrowns are cooking
  7. When hashbrowns are done, add back the cooked sausage, then pour in the scrambled eggs. Stir once to mix things up, then cover the skillet and cook over medium heat until eggs begin to set. Stir as needed to keep the eggs from sticking and burning.
  8. When eggs are set, and almost done, crumble the bacon strips and sprinkle over top, followed by two cups of shredded cheese – sprinkled to cover top. Cover the skillet and wait approx. five minutes for the topping to melt.
  9. Remove from heat, sprinkle on Parsley or Fennel – and serve.

Sriracha Potato Skins Recipe

Ingredients

  • 4 medium russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup Sriracha
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, divided
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves, for garnish
  • ½ cup sour cream, for garnish

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400℉ and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Rinse, scrub and dry the potatoes, then rub them with the canola oil and sprinkle them with salt. Bake the potatoes until they’re cooked through and the skin is crisp, about 50 minutes. When the potatoes are cooked, let them sit just until they’re cool enough to handle.
  • Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, then use a spoon to scoop out the cooked insides, leaving about ½-inch of flesh on each skin. Line the potato skins up on the baking sheet.
  • Put the scooped-out insides in a medium mixing bowl with the sour cream, Sriracha, sour cream, and half the cheese. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, then use a wooden spoon or potato masher to mash the potatoes and mix everything together until it’s combined.
  • Scoop the mashed potato filling into the potato skins, then garnish with the remaining cheddar cheese and cooked bacon. Bake the stuffed potato skins in the oven until the skins are crispy, the filling is hot, and the cheese is melted, 10-12 minutes.
  • Serve immediately, with a dollop of sour cream on each potato skin. Garnish with cilantro leaves.

Sonoran Hot Dog Recipe

Jordon was chatting on Twitter and someone mentioned a Sonoran Hot Dog.  After Googling it, this is what I found.  It sounds amazing.

Sonoran Hot Dog Recipe

How to make the legendary hot dog.

The basic make-up of a Sonoran hot dog is a bacon-wrapped hot dog shoved into a soft Mexican roll topped with pinto beans, chopped tomatoes, onions, jalapeno sauce, cheese, mayonnaise, ketchup and mustard. They usually come with a roasted chili on the side – sometimes even with roasted green onions.

There are many variations and these hot dogs continue to evolve. It is rumored some Tucson vendors have even started topping theirs with crumbled potato chips. In Mexico, the variations become more elaborate with the option of chorizo, sour cream or crema, avocados, pineapples and more.

  • Get a beef hot dog and wrap it like a mummy with bacon. Mesquite bacon is good.
  • Fry it on a griddle until the bacon gets crisp. Some people like to fry the bacon a little first and then wrap it around the hot dog and then fry them both in the bacon grease.
  • Take a hot dog bun or bolillo roll that has been slit to make a pocket in the middle. If you want you can toast them a little or, in the case of the bolillo roll, steam it for a minute to make it soft. Work with what you have on hand or what you feel like.
  • Put mayo, mustard and ketchup on the bun and insert the bacon-wrapped dog. If you want to squirt the mayo on top, like they do at the stands, mix it with a little lemon juice or water to thin it out. Put it into a squeeze bottle or sandwich bag with a corner cut off and squeeze it on top when you are done, along with the mustard and ketchup.
  • Add warm pinto beans, cheese (shredded Mexican cotijo cheese, cheddar, whatever), chopped tomatoes, chopped onions, sliced or blended jalapenos or some type of jalapeno/green chili salsa.
  • “Just stick whatever you want on there, and whatever amount, to make it taste good.” (You hear this talking to many Mexican cooks)
  • Roast a chili pepper to go on the side and have some cold coke ready (even better if in a glass bottle) for the complete experience.

  • black pepper, to taste
  • shredded lettuce (to garnish) (optional)

Skewered Mozzarella with Canadian Bacon Recipe

Directions

  • 28 slices of Canadian bacon
  • 12 oz Mozzarella cheese
  • 12 slices french bread
  • 12 slices raw tomato
  • 1/3 cup salad oil
  • 2 8 ounce cans of tomato sauce
  • 1 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 paprika
  • 1 salad oil


Note: You'll need four skewers approximately 10-12 in. long. Also the french bread should be the long and narrow kind cut into 1/2 inch slices. The raw tomato is also cut into 1/2 inch slices. You'll need 28 pieces of cheese to equal the number of slices of bacon.

Cut the cheese into 1 in. squares about 1/4 in. thick. Fold a slice of Canadian bacon around each piece of cheese.  Press the bacon firmly to hold the cheese in place.

Cut each piece of tomato and each piece of bread in half. Heat the 1/3 cup of oil in a large skillet. Brown bread on both sides. Be prepared to turn bread quickly to avoid burning. It should be light brown. On each skewer thread alternate pieces of bacon heaped around the mozzarella, bread and tomato.

Place each skewer in a shallow baking pan or shallow earthenware casserole. Be sure the folded top of  each piece of bacon is up. Pour tomato sauce over each skewer. Sprinkle generously with parmesan cheese.  Sprinkle lightly with paprika and additional salad oil.  Preheat the oven 400 degrees. Bake the skewers until brown on top. Serve immediately while very hot.
