Naturally, use anything you want for this. My husband had fingerling potatoes, bacon, & eggs for breakfast. Leftover? About 6 potatoes & 3 pieces of bacon. This project began as I wracked my brain to figure out a side using the leftover breakfast w/ 2 chicken thighs from the previous night. This is my solution...

Knife

Step 2

2. Put your choice of high heat, sauteing oil in sauté pan. Heat on medium until hot (I prefer stainless steel but I used to Sous Chef)

Saute Pan

Step 3

3. Add potatoes, jarred (or fresh) red bells, & green chiles and sauté for a few minutes. Add previously cooked bacon. Stir & move food around in pan to prevent sticking. Add a Tbsp of butter near the end (if you like your butter).

Step 4

4. Add whatever seasonings you have on hand. I used "Cavender's Greek Seasoning", "Pinch Perfect" (like Mrs. Dash), & a dash of "Aw Shit", a local hot seasoning here in Texas. Salt & pepper to taste. Stir & shake pan to incorporate seasonings

Step 5

Top with Gouda cheese, or whatever you have on hand. Top with crusty bread croutons, if wanted. Place pan in oven preheated to 400 degrees for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
