I am really interested in making these so when it come to fill the containers how many ounces or grams do you put in each container ?
Does this make 5 or 4 servings ? It says 5 servings but under equipment needed it says 4 glass bowls.
Hi Barbara, it’s 5, 4 cup glass bowls.
Thank you!
You’re missing the step with the egg whites? When do those get added to the bowls?
I think the egg whites are included in step 5.
Step 5 says to combine all ingredients. That would be when you add the egg whites etc.
Great depth of flavor with the potato mix and the bacon/sausage mix. Will absolutely make again!
These are so yummy and such an easy meal prep for breakfast or dinner.
Love these bowls! Any ideas for substituting some potatoes or sweet potatoes for other veg?
I think you could easily add some extra veggies or swap in a portion of the potatoes for some spinach, or broccoli. Worth a try for sure.
Amazing will definitely give it a shot with my next batch thank you!
