Breakfast Bowl

When I first ran across this recipe by Garth Brooks I thought if he can cook as well as he sings,it should be a very good recipe. It really turned out to be true. I have made the Breakfast Bowl several times and it has always recieved rave reviews. Just yesterday I had unexpected company and quickly made up a breakfast bowl without all of the ingredients and I substituted Jiternice (Czech sausage) for the regular pork sausage and it was delicious and still recieved good feedback. I hope all of my readers enjoy this recipe as much as I have.

Breakfast Bowl

2 tablespoons butter
8 large eggs
1 16-ounch bag frozen tater tots or hash browns
1 pound pork sausage
1 pound bacon
1 9-ounce package cheese or cheese and roasted garlic tortellini
10 ounces sharp cheddar cheese grated about two and a half cups.

In a large skillet, melt the butter and scramble the eggs.
In a separate large skillet, cook the hash broowns according to package direction.
In a third large skillet, break up the sausage with a wooden spoon and cook until browned. Drain off the excess fat. Transfer the sausage to a bowl. Cook the bacon in the same skillet. Drain on paper towels and set aside. Cook the tortellini according to the package directions. Layer a large bowl with hash browns, sausage, bacon, tortellini, eggs and cheese.
I have taken many liberties with this recipe and it always works out well. So feel free to be creative and come up with your own way to put it together.
