🥔🥓 Ingredients

• 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced

• 3–4 medium potatoes, diced

• 1 small onion, sliced

• 1 bell pepper, chopped (optional)

• 2 tablespoons oil or bacon grease

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• ½ teaspoon dried thyme

• Optional: shredded cheese for topping

🔥 Chuckwagon Cooking Instructions

1️⃣ Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat.

2️⃣ Add oil or bacon grease and toss in the diced potatoes. Cook for about 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and brown.

3️⃣ Add sliced sausage and cook until browned and slightly crispy.

4️⃣ Stir in onions and bell peppers. Cook until tender and fragrant.

5️⃣ Sprinkle in garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir well to coat everything evenly.

6️⃣ Continue cooking for another 5–7 minutes until potatoes are fully tender.

7️⃣ Optional: sprinkle cheese on top, cover briefly, and let it melt.

🥄 Chuckwagon Serving Tip

Serve straight from the skillet for that true cowboy feel 🤠

Pairs great with:

• Fried eggs on top 🍳

• Warm biscuits

• Or a simple side of applesauce

⭐ Campfire Tip

If cooking outdoors, use a lid or foil tent over the skillet to help potatoes cook faster and soak in that smoky campfire flavor.

💜 Miss Sarah’s Kitchen Encouragement

Simple meals don’t mean small blessings.

Sometimes the most meaningful moments come from gathering around a table (or a campfire), sharing food, laughter, and gratitude for all God provides.
