Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, to lightly coat the pan
  • 1 pound loose breakfast sausage
  • 4 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Salt and pepper
  • Hot sauce, for serving

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • For the hash: Heat the olive oil in a large, shallow braising pot over medium-high heat.
  • Add the sausage and bacon, and cook until slightly brown, using the back of a wooden spoon to break up the sausage, about 5 minutes.
  • Lower the heat to medium and add the onions, peppers, potatoes and some salt and pepper.
  • Cook for about 10 minutes.
  • For the tomatoes: With a spoon, scoop out and discard some of the pulp and seeds from the tomatoes.
  • In a medium bowl, add the panko, pecorino, olive oil, parsley, garlic and pepper to taste; mix to combine, then spoon into the tomatoes.
  • Nestle the tomatoes in the hash, transfer to the oven and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
  • Serve with hot sauce.
