Ingredients

Scale

Meats

  • 1 & 1/2 pounds thin-sliced bacon
  • 1 pound bulk breakfast sausage

Cheese and Dairy

  • 1 & 1/4 pounds cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, chopped into chunks
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter for hash browns
  • 1/4 cup butter for eggs

Vegetables

  • 30 ounces frozen shredded hash browns
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions

Eggs and Seasonings

  • 15 large eggs
  • 1 & 1/4 teaspoons Lawry’s Seasoning salt (or kosher salt)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Other

  • 1/3 cup (or more) bacon grease
  • 15 (10-inch) flour tortillas, warmed

Instructions

  1. Bake the Bacon: Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Line bacon slices side-by-side on baking sheets and bake until crisp, approximately 15-20 minutes depending on thickness.
  2. Cook the Bacon: Once baked and cooled slightly, chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces for easy incorporation into the burritos.
  3. Save Bacon Grease: Carefully reserve the bacon grease from the baking sheet to use in cooking the hash browns for added flavor.
  4. Brown the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bulk breakfast sausage until fully browned and cooked through, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  5. Crisp the Sausage: For extra texture and flavor, allow the cooked sausage to brown further by increasing heat slightly and stirring occasionally until crispy bits form.
  6. Shred the Cheese: Shred the cheddar cheese and set aside. This will be used in assembling the burritos and mixing into eggs.
  7. Cook the Hash Browns: Heat reserved bacon grease and 1/2 cup butter in a large skillet. Press frozen shredded hash browns into a compact patty shape in the skillet and cook until deeply golden and crispy on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  8. Prepare the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, Lawry’s seasoning salt (or kosher salt), black pepper, and onion powder. Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large non-stick skillet over low-medium heat, add the egg mixture and cream cheese chunks. Stir gently as eggs cook to create soft, creamy scrambled eggs infused with melted cream cheese.
  9. Assemble the Burritos: Warm the flour tortillas briefly to make them pliable. Lay each tortilla flat and layer on crispy hash browns, chopped bacon, browned sausage, creamy scrambled eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, and top with chopped green onions.
  10. Wrap and Store: Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly into burritos. Wrap individually in aluminum foil if storing for later use.
  11. Reheat: To reheat, unwrap foil and microwave burritos for 1-2 minutes if refrigerated, or 3-4 minutes if frozen. Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes until heated through.

Notes

  • For crispier hash browns, do not overcrowd the skillet and press them firmly into a patty shape.
  • Using cream cheese in scrambled eggs adds extra creaminess and flavor, but it can be omitted for a lighter version.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt, based on the saltiness of bacon and sausage used.
  • These burritos can be assembled ahead and frozen, making them perfect for easy breakfasts on busy mornings.
  • Feel free to add your favorite hot sauce or salsa inside the burrito for added flavor.
