How to Make Sausage Breakfast Scramble

Step 1: Cook the sausage and potatoes

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and potatoes and cook until browned, breaking sausage into crumbles as it cooks.

If using fresh potatoes, cover the skillet for a few minutes to help them cook through faster.

Step 2: Add the vegetables

Add the frozen diced green peppers, red peppers, and onions directly to the skillet with the sausage.

Cook for about 5 more minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3: Season everything

Season the mixture with:

• Seasoned Salt
• Black pepper
• Garlic powder
• Paprika
• more regular salt to taste

The paprika adds a subtle smoky flavor that works perfectly with the sausage and potatoes.

Step 4: Make the eggs

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.

Pour the eggs into the skillet and gently stir everything together as the eggs cook.

Continue cooking until the eggs are fluffy and fully set.

Step 5: Serve

Serve warm as-is or top with shredded cheese, parsley, avocado, salsa, or hot sauce.

Tips for the Best Sausage Breakfast Scramble

Don't overcrowd the pan

Using a large skillet helps the potatoes crisp instead of steaming.

Let the potatoes brown

Try not to stir constantly. Allowing the potatoes to sit for a few minutes at a time helps create crispy edges.

Cook eggs low and slow

Lower heat gives you softer, fluffier scrambled eggs.

Easy Variations

Add cheese

Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack all melt beautifully into this scramble.

Make it spicy

Use hot breakfast sausage or add diced jalapeños and a pinch or crushed red pepper flakes.

Turn it into breakfast burritos

Wrap the scramble in warm gluten free tortillas for an easy grab-and-go breakfast.

Make it dairy free

Use your favorite unsweetened dairy free milk or simply omit the milk entirely.

Refrigerator

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Reheating

Reheat in the microwave or in a skillet over low heat until warmed through.
