Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the bell peppers and onion. Dice the ham and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Leave the bacon fat in the skillet.

  3. 3

    Brown the Sausage

    In the same skillet, add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  4. 4

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add the diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet with the sausage. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the diced ham, cooked bacon (chopped), salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the skillet. Mix well to combine.

  6. 6

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the mixture. Cover the skillet to let the cheese melt, about 3-4 minutes.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, serve hot straight from the skillet.
