Camper's Omelet

By North Star



Serve with hot sauce, if desired.

Ingredients.

1/2 pound bacon
2-3 medium potatoes
1 medium onion
1/2 green bell pepper
6 eggs
1 firm tomato, optional
8 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese

When fire is ready for cooking, Fry bacon until crisp in cast iron skillet. Remove bacon and fry potatoes (unpeeled and chopped) in bacon grease until tender; throw in chopped onion and chopped pepper. When onion appears cooked, reduce heat by moving pan to side of fire or turning down camp stove burner.

Whisk eggs until fluffy, then pour them into skillet; cover about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid scorching. Place sliced tomato, cheese (grated or chopped fine) and crumbled bacon on top. Cover again and cook 3-4 minutes, until cheese melts and tomatoes are "smiling." Remove from fire, slice in wedges and serve.
