Southwestern Skillet Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash

I recently got to partner with one of my favorite brands, Jennie-O, and I am really excited to be working with them. In this Southwestern Skillet Sweet Potato hash I used Jennie-O Lean Turkey Breakfast Sausage, and I truly love it. It’s a great way to get the classic sausage flavor without the added fat. This combination of lean turkey breakfast sausage, red bell pepper, smokey sweet potatoes, black beans, eggs and avocados is out of this world delicious. This has got to be one of the most flavorful breakfast recipes I have ever made. This was a huge recipe, made in my huge cast iron pan, so if you don’t need as much, feel free to halve the recipe and just use four eggs.

Start by browning the sausage then setting it aside to be added back in after the sweet potatoes are cooked. I use my favorite Cast-Iron Skillet It’s huge and inexpensive and I’ve been using and loving mine for almost fifteen years!

Next, sauté the onions, bell pepper and jalapeño over a medium heat just until they start to soften. Increase the heat and add the sweet potatoes to the pan with additional olive oil and spices. Let the sweet potatoes set and don’t stir too much so they can get all crispy and brown on the edges.

When the sweet potatoes are tender, add sausage and black beans into the skillet. Make small wells in the hash and crack an egg into each well. Bake the hash at 400 degrees in the oven, just until the egg whites are set.

Finish with freshly diced avocado and fresh cilantro. I love this hash, it has so many of my favorite ingredients, and it’s perfect for a savory breakfast or a delicious dinner.
