Cheap & Easy Lookalike “Simple Scrambles by Jimmy Dean”

You may be familiar with the "Jimmy Dean Simple Scrambles," which are fantastic but rather expensive. The first time I opened one up I thought, "Hey, I can prepare this myself!" Here is our recipe that we like to use, though I typically do 3-5x as much at a time as is called for in the recipe. You can easily store these in the fridge or the freezer (and then the fridge to thaw) for later use.

Total Time 25 minutes

Yields:

10 bags or cups

Ingredients:

The meat and cheese mix - prep in bulk for later use.

  • 1 pound bacon ends and pieces
  • 1 pound ground sausage
  • 1 pound grated cheese

Used to actually make the cups

  • 20-30 large egg(s)
  • 10 each snack size bags
  • 10 12-16 oz paper cups for hot drinks

Directions:

Pre-Prep of bags

  • Cut up the bacon into smaller pieces.
  • Add the sausage. (I'm tripling the recipe in these photos FYI.)
  • Cook it all together.
  • If you're a wimp (or rather if your kids can't handle the amount of fat), you can drain the meat.
  • Let the meat cool, best to use the refrigerator so it doesn't get gross. Put about 1/2 cup of the meat mix into snack size bags
  • Add about 1/4 cup of grated cheese to each bag
  • Seal them, you can get out most of the air so they store smaller.
  • Admire your work. You can put the smaller bags into a larger bag and store it in the fridge or even the freezer.

To use the bags to make breakfast

  • Get the eggs, a large paper cup for hot liquids, a fork, and the meat mix.
  • Crack 1-3 eggs into the cup. We typically use two eggs.
  • See, eggs!
  • Add the meat and cheese mixture.
  • Stir it with a fork. Microwave (without the fork) for about 1 minute on high.
  • Stir it again. (You can use the same fork, don't be a sissy.) Microwave again for 30-60 seconds.
  • Check and see if it's done. If it's not: nuke it some more!
  • If you're feeling awesome, make some of the Keto Chow Savory Biscuits and eat your breakfast in style!
