Mountain Man Breakfast 12-16 Eggs Bacon or sausage 1 pack Cheese 1-2 cups Hash browns or tots Salt pepper Onions or green peppers if you want Get up early if you want to eat early. (1 ½ hours before you want to eat.) Brown sausage or bacon in the bottom of the Dutch oven break it all up good. Add peppers and onions (chopped). Add the hash browns and cook just a little. Add the eggs that are already beaten together. Put in just a little cheese, season with salt and pepper. Cook for 40 minutes or so with 9 bottom and 15 top. When it is cooked pretty good add the rest of the cheese on top and let melt just with the top heat.

Well here we go! I don't know exactly what I'm doing but I'm going to give it a try. I read enough Blogs now that I should be doing one. I guess you could consider me a major lurker. Well anyways welcome to "Our World". It should be fun. We have a lot of different things going on so I'll just start it up and get going. I first thought this would just be about Dutch Oven cooking because that seems to be a big focus in my life right now. but I do believe we will try and mix it up a little. I think that will work the best and see where it goes. I do hope to be putting on a bunch of my Dutch Oven Adventures though. We have lots of different things we cook now so hopefully it should be of interest. I will of course add some recipes and instructions, and yes I will put in some easy ones for you beginners. I'll try and keep you filled in on what's going on around the Cromer Compound (maybe not a good word?) also. Well here we go. I hope I have it set right so...
