Introduction

This is the kind of meal I refer to as "mess." I made this as a week's worth of breakfasts- savory and a little sweet. Consider an egg on top for extra protein.

Ingredients

    Jimmy Dean Sage Sausage (loose)- 8 oz
    1 Sweet Onion chopped
    1 Green Bell Pepper chopped
    1/2 cup Salsa
    1 Can Chickpeas- 15.5 oz or 1.75 cups
    1 Sweet Sweet Potato- baked

    Season with cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne to taste.

Tips

I like my seasonings assertive and went with about 1/2 Tbsp cumin, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, and a generous dash of cayenne.

You can do some of the prep as you cook. I started the sausage browning while I chopped the pepper, added pepper, and then chopped onion.

While it might not look like much, it was just what I wanted for breakfast. I think this could go for really any meal of the day...


Directions

Cook sausage, onions, and peppers together over medium heat in a medium skillet until sausage is browned and onions are translucent.

Add salsa. Drain chickpeas ad add to skillet; continue to simmer. Add cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne.

Dice sweet potato and toss into pan (including skin!).

Mix together. Adjust seasoning.
