Traditionally served as a way to fuel a long day, it combines ingredients like eggs, potatoes, and meats in a single skillet for convenience. Today, this dish has found its way into diners and brunch menus across the country, with many variations featuring seasonal vegetables or different types of meats.

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Cut 10 slices of thick cut bacon into 1-inch pieces and add to the skillet, cooking until crispy.

Dice 3 red potatoes into cubes and add to the skillet with the bell pepper, cooking until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
