One weekend morning, My husband and I were hungry for breakfast without the traditional sausage or bacon. I reached for the ground beef and tossed in other ingredients as I went. This recipe was the mouthwatering result.—Mary Lill, Rock Cave, West Virginia

1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cups diced peeled potatoes
1/2 cup water
Salt and pepper to taste
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
4 eggs, lightly beaten
4 ounces process cheese (Velveeta), sliced

In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. add the potatoes, water, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Add tomatoes; cook for 5 minutes. Pour eggs over mixture. Cook and stir until eggs are completely set. Top with cheese. Cover and cook for 1 minute or until the cheese is melted. Yield: 4-6 servings.

Freshly squeezed orange juice is a nice accompaniment to Breakfast Scramble. One medium orange yields 1/4 to 1/3 cup juice. To extract the most juice, roll the orange on the countertop with your palm a few times before squeezing.

I think i will try this with sausage also, the ground beef was a bit blah. Otherwise tho it wasn't "bad".. also will try cheddar rather than american cheese.

I thought this recipe was pretty good, but next time I think I am going to add some garlic to it.

We substituted the ground beef with sausage and it was delicious! I'll definitely be making this again.
