This has to be one of the most popular recipes in dutch oven cooking, and it never fails to please people, especially those folks that have never tried it.
I made 2 batches this morning for some of the other workampers here in the park we're at. Not one of them had ever heard of it, let alone tried it. So it was a lot of fun to watch them as they watched me cooking the meal. I did deviate from the regular recipe and used my gas grill to brown the sausage and cook the hash browns. I did that just to save some time because a few of the folks had to get to work. But once it was put together, I finished the cooking with coals.
If there's anyone that doesn't have the recipe, here it is. It's fast and easy.

2 pounds sausage
2 pounds frozen hash brown potatoes

Using sausage drippings in the DO, brown potatoes and spread them evenly in bottom of DO. Place cooked sausage over potatoes. Pour eggs over sausage layer. Sprinkle top with cheese. Cook with 8 coals under and 16 on top for 20 to 25 minutes, until eggs are cooked.
