OK, gotta know...how do you oven cook bacon? We cook ours like fried chicken-in a couple of inches of oil (sometimes olive oil-gets expensive)
I too am an " UNcle Hersels Favorite" fan, but the closest cracker barrel to lubbock is Amarillo...
When there is time in the mornings, breakfast around here includes venison steak, hashbrown potato, eggs over easy slow cooked in butter, and a side of pinto beans cooked all night in the crock pot...sometimes we do the thick sliced bacon along with biscuits topped with butter and honey...and on occasion will do chocolate chip pancakes for the wife and girls. Is good stuff!!!

The "Logger's" special at a local resturanty is hard to beat. 3 eggs over easy 2 slices of bacon 2 sausauge links slice of ham hashbrowns not to crisp (Usually the Wife gives me her hashrowns too) whole wheat English muffin glass of orange juice coffee Chop up and mix the eggs and hashrowns together and enjoy the feast. After that meal I am good to go until about five o'clock in the afternoon.

ADK... your breakfast sounds great to me! Just a couple of substitutions: a big glass of ice-cold orange juice instead of coffee, and jam of some sort on the pancakes instead of syrup. I'll also take more than 2 slices of bacon  , and maybe a steaming bowl of Ken's grits (with lots of butter).

Yup. Breakfast has to have hashbrowns - and lots of them. And made from fresh potatoes - not prepackaged, frozen ones. Anyone notice it's getting harder and harder to find a place that makes 'em correctly? Oh, +3 eggs over easy, 4 slices of bacon, whole wheat toast, and a bottomless cup 'o joe and I'm a happy 24 hour camper.

My rather late perfect breakfast this morning is a big bowl of rice dressing and a Newcastle Brown Ale, both leftovers from yesterday.  mathman

Fresh pork sausage mixed with hash browns and Velveeta with a fresh sweet onion chopped in. Two over-easy eggs to top it with some grated extra sharp cheese on top of them. A couple of pieces of toast with real butter and strawberry jam. Maybe a side o' grits. Gotta have some ketchup to go with this too. Tall glass of orange juice to warsh it down with.
My own Grandpa lived to be 96 on eggs nearly every mornin'. He drank no coffee though. I don't have a clue whether that's got anythin' to do with it. I don't like coffee myself, so it's no loss to me. Grandpa ate eggs and bacon and biscuit with butter. He would not refuse leftover (or fresh) fried chicken in the mornings either. Pan-fried in Crisco or Hog Lard. hehehehhe

Almost everyone I know that likes Hash Browns like them crispy. Why is it so hard to get them that way at a restaurant?

Pretty much everything already mentioned works for me just as long as there's plenty of it. It doesn't have to be only for breakfast either as I love all the traditional American breakfast foods served anytime night or day. I will add that when given the choice, in lieu of pancakes or waffles, I prefer homemade pear preserves w/real butter spread thick inside warm biscuits.

I can make a pretty good hashbrown - not as good as the guy I learned from - but close. Peel and grate enough Russet potatoes and rinse thoroughly in cold water. Now here's the trick - take the grated potatoes and place a mound of them on a cotton dish-towel. Gather the corners of the towel together and begin twisting to squeeze out as much of the water from the spuds. I think that what happens if you don't remove the moisture, the potatoes "boil" and become soggy. If they're dry, they fry. Lay down enough butter in a hot skillet or griddle to form a nice pool (the guy I learned from used clarified butter - helps keep the butter from browning and/or burning). Sprinkle in the potatoes to form an even layer. Cook on one side till golden brown. Use a spatula to press the potatoes to flatten. Flip and cook till golden brown. Salt and pepper to taste. Eat. It takes some practice but it's worth it once you get the hang of it. You can thank me later.

most restaurants that actually cook bacon (as opposed to just reheating precooked stuff in the microwave) cook it in the oven at 350f. I put the slices on an icing rack, and just oven cook them. Takes a few min longer than frying, but they are less greasy, crisper, and taste better.

On further thought �
No breakfast is perfect
without
the right person on the other side of the table.
"Good enough" isn't.
Always take your responsibilities seriously but never yourself.

for me its a breakfast burrito(scrambled eggs, nacho chease, ham......not big on onions or peppers but some grilled sweet onion is ok) followed by biscuits and sausage gravy but the sausage needs to be my deer breakfast sausage. regular pork breakfast sausage for some reason plays hell with my stomach which ive always found odd cause its one of the few things that does, other than that i can generally eat anything without pissing of my guts........

If you boil or bake the potatoes the night before they are just the right "dryness" to just grate and fry. That may be the trick your mentor left out.

Just seeing this title an hour or so ago prompted me to go fix a breakfast of venison steak and eggs over easy, plus some sliced in chunks of venison farmer sausage and pan toast. It went down pretty good. It could have used some morel mushrooms but I havn't been home enough this past week to look for any. Also couildn't find any spuds in the house so I need to go grocery shopping. Agreed that left over baked potatoes, sliced and pan fried with the steaks etc. are the best.
Make the coffee black with such a a meal, for me. For coffee break when I'm in the mood for a dessert snack, load it with cream and hazelnut.
