I’m a big fan of anything in a packet, from breakfast to dinner and anything in-between. These Lumberjack breakfast packets are further proof that a meal-in-a-packet can be absolutely fantastic. From sausage links to potatoes, eggs and cheese, each bite gives you a full breakfast taste. Anything and everything would be good in these. Substitute ground pork sauce for the links. Or even ham. Add jalapenos for some kick, or just serve them with hot sauce on the side. Anything goes (and is good) in these packets.
A Great Make-Ahead Dish
You can prepare these lumberjack breakfast packets ahead of time. They’re perfect for a camp-out, or an early morning grill at a local park. Just make the potatoes ahead of time and chop everything up. That way you just have to cook the eggs and vegetables once you get to your destination.
For a little freshness I like to add a bit of just-cut fruit on the sides. If you’ve got a big day of hard hiking and fishing ahead, these will start things out right!
