- 2 cups Tatertot hash browns
- 1 Bell pepper diced

- 8 Eggs
- 1/2 cup Cheese shredded
- 2 Green onion stalks diced
- Salt & pepper
Instructions
- Dice pepper, onion, and ham.
- Mix egg, cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Place ingredients into a large freezer bag for easy packing and storage.
- Line a Dutch oven with parchment paper. This is optional, but helps with clean up and serving later.
- Layer tatertots on the bottom of the Dutch oven.
- Pour the egg mixture over the hash browns.
- Place the lid on the Dutch oven and bake for 60 minutes over the coals of a campfire or in an oven at 350 degrees.

Notes
- Prepare the ingredients at home in advance. This makes prepping and clean up a breeze when camping.
- When cooking with cast iron, be sure to season the surface first.
- Always use gloves or oven mitts while cooking, as the surface of the iron will be hot.
- Cook the recipe over an open fire using hot coals, not open flames. A fire that is too hot will burn the outside of your recipe and not cook the inside.
- Be sure to clean the cast iron with a rough vegetable scrubber, rinse, and dry thoroughly before storing.
