Loaded Breakfast Hash

This fully loaded breakfast hash makes a great breakfast, brunch, or brinner! It's loaded full of flavor, starches, and protein and will completely fill you up! I used a partial bag of potatoes that cost a total of $3.59.

I used 6 eggs from a $0.99 carton, and one cup of cheese from a bag that cost $2.22. The last main ingredient was bacon, with a cost of $3.98. I used Bar S brand. Often times bacon will have coupons and sales and that's a great time to purchase a stockpile to freeze, as bacon can be frozen for several months. Don't ever be afraid to use your freezer to stockpile meat. Just be sure to write the purchase date in marker on the package, so you know when you should use it by.

The total cost for this meal was $6.59, putting it a little above my $5.00 goal, but it's still a great deal for the amount of food it makes, and I have leftovers for several meals. And as always this will use my philosophy of having spices and staples on hand. You should always have butter on hand. You can bake with it, and use it in many recipes. Having a fully stocked spice cabinet opens up the possibility to make any dish with whatever you might have stockpiled in your freezer! I hope you enjoy this inexpensive filling recipe!
