Breakfast Burritos (Once a Month Cooking)
"Great for that run in the morning breakfast. You can also take frozen burritos with you when going camping. Just place the bag of frozen burritos into the ice chest, and by the time you're ready for breakfast the first morning, the burritos are fully thawed. Then simply reheat them in a large skillet over the campstove or fire grate."

This might sound like a silly question. I have a bag of the Ore Ida home fries (little diced potatoes, peppers, and onions) already in my freezer. Should be no problem to add them, still frozen, to the burritos right?

Do I need to get breakfast sausage or will (hot, we love spice!) Bulk Italian sausage work? -
How long can these stay in the freezer?

These are a great "on the run" breakfast. Take out of the freezer in the am and by the time I'm at work they are thawed and ready for the microwave. Being diabetic these have been a life-saver on hectic mornings! -
I have made this recipe about 6-7 times now, probably should review it. Takes about an hour start to finish to make anywhere from 12-16 burritos, depending on how big my tortillas are. My husband loves these for breakfast, has them almost every day for breakfast. Have made this exact recipe with 2-3 x the salsa, allowing the moisture to cook out before rolling, and also a veggie chorizo, potato and salsa version. Love it, only problem is now hubby expectes them for breakfast each am, I can never stop making them! -
Easy to freeze and heat up in the mornings for a breakfast on the run. I throw in a large bag of Walmart brand frozen shredded potatoes (cooked) and use spicy bulk sausage. Family asks for them every week! I make it all in one skillet, after cooking the potatoes I transfer them to a bowl then fry the sausage with the onion and garlic, when it's almost done, I throw in the eggs, jalapenos, banana peppers, salt and pepper and fry them up until done. I take off the heat, trow in potatoes, cheese and salsa, stir and let cool before I wrap. Easy and tasty. Thx for the recipe! -
i made these tonight and everybody inhaled it. love how versatile it is. i only used 7 eggs and 1 pound of sausage and found that was perfect for 6 people.

I made these using the base ingredients plus hash browns, green pepper, canned chilies, minced garlic and green onion. When the bulk sausage was cooked I put it on paper towel to get some of the grease off and then cooked the green pepper, onion, garlic and chilies to soften them all up. I had three pans I dished from; hash browns, veggies and egg/sausage. They made 24 perfectly. My picky hubby ate three burritos before they even got into the freezer, he loves them! I plan on making a bunch of batches so my family can eat healthy while I'm going to school FT. Thanks for a great recipe!!

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
