[00:00:21.27] First, the prep-- remember, substitution is king in the field. Use what you have and don't be afraid to take risks. If you have potatoes or peppers left over from last night's dinner, just toss them in. Start by browning the sausage, or don't. This recipe works for the vegetarians out there, too. Add in the veggies, and cook over medium heat until the potatoes are fork tender. While that's going, beat six eggs.

[00:00:49.23] Now reduce the heat to low, pour in your eggs, toss in some shredded cheddar, and mix everything together, making sure to combine, but don't scramble. Then salt and pepper to taste. Cover the skillet with foil and cook for about 15 minutes or until the eggs are set in the center of the pan. While you wait, now would be a great time to hit those Like and Subscribe buttons.

TIPS & TRICKS - From our camp cooking expert
GET CRACKING BEFORE YOU GO
Packing eggs for camping can be a risky proposition. Crack them into a mason jar before you leave home and you'll never worry about them breaking in transit.
CREATE A POCKET-SIZED SPICE RACK
Instead of wasting valuable packing space with individual jars of spices, separate them out into the compartments of a pill organizer instead.
MAKE USE OF THOSE LEFTOVERS
Substitution is key when it comes to camp cooking. Have leftover veggies or other ingredients from another meal? Clean out your cooler and use them in the next recipe.
