Anyway, I finally got around to making these the other day and they're a BIG hit! I did change it up a tiny bit though.
I used:
1lb of Jimmy Dean Pork Sausage
1pkg. Potatoes O'Brien (pictured below)
12 eggs
1/4 cup of milk
1lb Shredded Mexican Blend Cheese
Salt and pepper
20 soft taco sized tortillas
So, yeah, when I said I changed it a tiny bit, I basically mean that I switched out regular hash browns for a package of cubed potatoes, onions and red and green peppers.
From start to finish it took a little under 2 hours but while the hash browns were cooking I was able to make 3 doctor's appointments and unload the dishwasher. That, and cling wrap and I aren't exactly friends, so I'm sure a normal person wouldn't spend nearly as much time on that step as I did.
I tried heating according to Carol's directions but mine still seemed to be cold in the center. Ross just threw two in at once for a minute and 30 seconds with flipping them half way through and it seems to work pretty well. So, basically instead of one at a time for 45 seconds each then switching, we do two at a time for a minute and a half, with flipping them over at 45 seconds. Maybe the difference is because I used Potatoes O'Brien instead of regular shredded hash browns? I don't know, in any case at a whopping 70 cents each, these things WILL be made again, and again, and again.
I would do a full post of pictures of each step, but I think Carol already did a good job of that in the link I provided above. The only reason I'm providing a picture of the package of potatoes that I used is so that if anyone decides to use them, they can maybe find the package in the store easier by knowing exactly what it looked like.
The potatoes I used.

And there you have it. Next time I'll have to double the recipe because only 2 days later I think we're down to like 7 burritos. But to be fair, we're a household of 9 and these things are delicious, so we're lucky they've lasted this long!
Anyway... til' next time!
