Do you like an easy weekend breakfast? I have to say this is a meal we really love. Make it for breakfast, make it for dinner – either way, works! Especially if it’s this Breakfast Skillet made in my favorite cast iron skillet.

There’s something about that oozy egg over these deliciously grilled potatoes and bacon, it’s the perfect combination! I like adding a bit of Tabasco sauce, or hot sauce to top it off, mmmm!!!!

It has bacon, eggs and potatoes and ranks right up there with our favorite breakfast burger, Cheesy Bacon Burger with Fried Egg!
