Method
 

Southern Style Hash Browns
  1. Tip: Get the hash browns in the oven, start the bacon next, get the meat browning, and then scramble the eggs. This order seems to help the flow of dinner. Assemble the bowls once everything is cooked.
  2. Spread the frozen hash browns out on a cookie sheet and season well.
  3. Bake for 35 minutes or until crispy.
  4. Broil on high for an additional 10 minutes at the end to get them extra crispy and golden brown.
Bacon
  1. Cut the bacon into small pieces and cook in a pan over medium heat.
  2. Take them out of the pan and place them on a plate covered with a paper towel.
Ground Venison
  1. While the hash browns are baking, brown the venison over medium heat in a pan. Season well.
Scrambled Eggs
  1. Scramble the eggs and the 16 oz. of cottage cheese in a pan over medium heat.
Optional Protein Chipotle Sauce
  1. Combine all ingredients into a medium bowl and stir until smooth. Season to taste.
Assemble the Venison Breakfast Protein Bowls
  1. Mix the browned venison, scrambled eggs, and fried bacon together really well.
  2. Scoop that mixture into each bowl and top with the hash browns.
  3. We like to put the sauce on the side or in a separate container. Enjoy!
