Y’all, let me tell you about a breakfast recipe that’ll make your taste buds do the Texas two-step! As a Southern gal who takes her morning meals seriously, I’ve perfected this heavenly Texas Breakfast Skillet that’ll have your family running to the kitchen faster than a tumbleweed in a tornado.
This bad boy combines everything we love about Texas breakfast – crispy hash browns, farm-fresh eggs, spicy chorizo, and yes, honey, plenty of cheese! It’s the kind of breakfast that’ll keep you full until dinner, and trust me, your guests will be begging for the recipe.
Here’s what you’ll need (serves 4-6):
– 4 cups frozen hash browns (thawed)
– 1 lb chorizo sausage
– 8 large eggs
– 1 diced bell pepper (I use red for color, but you do you!)
– 1 diced onion
– 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 diced jalapeño (seeds removed if you’re feeling shy)
– 2 tablespoons butter
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional: sliced avocado and fresh cilantro for garnish
Now, let’s get cookin’!
1. First things first, grab your largest cast-iron skillet (if you don’t have one, bless your heart – but any large skillet will do). Melt that butter over medium heat.
1. Spread those hash browns in an even layer and let them get golden brown and crispy (about 8-10 minutes). Don’t you dare stir them too much – patience is key here, sweetie!
1. While that’s happening, cook your chorizo in a separate pan, breaking it up into crumbles. Drain the excess grease (we’re trying to be a little healthy here, right? 😉).

1. Add those colorful peppers and onions to your crispy hash browns, cooking until they’re tender (about 5 minutes).
1. Sprinkle the cooked chorizo over your potato mixture, then make 8 little wells with the back of your spoon.
1. Crack those farm-fresh eggs into each well, season with salt and pepper, and cover the skillet. Let those eggs cook to your liking (I like mine a little runny, but you do what makes your heart happy).
1. When the eggs are almost done, shower that baby with cheese and cover until melted.
1. Garnish with avocado slices and cilantro if you’re feeling fancy!
Let me tell you, this breakfast is better than a cool breeze on a hot Texas day! It’s perfect for weekend brunches, holiday mornings, or when you need to impress your mother-in-law (we’ve all been there, sister!).
Pro tip: Serve with warm tortillas and your favorite hot sauce. I always keep some extra jalapeños on the side for those brave souls who can handle the heat!
