What is the reheat time
Hi Marie,
I just reheat about 2 minutes in the microwave.
I love this recipe! I like to use turkey bacon in place of pork and I use lean ground chicken. I have also been playing around and adding chopped up green onions. I have used both frozen and dehydrated hashbrowns and they work well. It is currently in heavy rotation right now for my second breakfast.
This is AMAZING!
This has become such a staple in our house – thank you to you AND your lovely mom! I love your meal prep bowls because typically I am just cooking for two and this allows me to make simple, healthy meals every couple of days. Since this makes a flat 5 we always bicker about who gets the extra bowl because it’s so yummy 🙂 Thank you!
Pro tip for some asking about dividing among the bowls – use a kitchen scale. I eyeball all of them and weigh them in grams (I promise it is easier to the math the math that way – haha) and adjust the mixture evenly. My bowls are all exactly the same weight so this is fastest for me, but if I use alternate bowls I just zero out each time and weigh the food only. It goes by super quickly once you do it a few times.
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 ?
If this was done in one pan instead of 5 bowls, would the cook time be the same or longer?
Hi Allie, cook time is usually the same in the small bowls.
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!
It says 4cups glass bowls so that is the size of the bowl, not the quantity.
I updated it. Sorry!
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!
