How to Make Meal Prep Breakfast Bowls

Let’s make it together! Follow these simple steps, and soon you’ll have a delightful breakfast bowl ready to brighten your mornings:

1. Cook the sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the beef sausage until browned and crispy, about 7–10 minutes. Stir occasionally to break it into smaller pieces and ensure even cooking.

2. Prepare potatoes and onions: Meanwhile, dice the potatoes and onions. Add them to a pot of boiling water and cook until tender, around 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

3. Scramble the eggs: In another skillet, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, then scramble them over medium heat until fluffy and just set. Remove from heat and set aside.

4. Sauté the peppers: In the same skillet used for the sausage (no need to clean it!), sauté the diced bell pepper until soft, about 5 minutes.

5. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked sausage, fluffy scrambled eggs, sautéed peppers, and tender potatoes and onions evenly among meal prep containers.

6. Store and enjoy: Seal the containers and store them in the refrigerator. Just reheat as needed throughout the week, and enjoy a comforting breakfast at your convenience!
