I have talked before about how I used to be a morning person. Until I had kids. Thinking about it, it should be the other way around, but instead of going to bed early and waking up happily when my kids get up (way too) early in the morning, I stay up too late and then am cranky in the mornings. So I will admit that the kids have cereal more than they really should.

But then, my sugar-loving, sweet toothed son changed his tune. Now, he does not ask for sugar for every meal. It’s eggs, eggs, and more eggs. So now I am trying to step up my morning breakfast game.
 
 

 
 
Now, I’ll make eggs every morning – no problem. But the same scrambled eggs every morning can start to get boring. And if you’re going to have breakfast, you might as well have breakfast. Am I right? Because just eggs? Your morning deserves more than that.

Enter the breakfast bowl. I am loving this idea right now. You mostly see sweet breakfast bowls, but if you are looking for a hearty, filling breakfast, turn to the savory breakfast bowl. All of the goodness of breakfast in one bowl, so all of the components get mixed up and it’s deliciousness in each bite.
 
 

 
 
I decided to give this breakfast bowl a Southwestern twist. You start by coating some potatoes in Old El Paso taco seasoning, then bake them until they are tender. This is the only step that takes a bit of time, so feel free to roast your potatoes ahead of time and then just warm them up when it’s time for breakfast.

Next up are the eggs. Now, on this step, you can change it up a bunch of ways. I love a good sunny-side up egg, and that is one way that I love my eggs in these breakfast bowls, but this time, I decided to scramble them and add in some more Old El Paso taco seasoning, as well as some Old El Paso green chiles. I love adding the seasoning and green chiles to my eggs – it gives them a whole new layer of flavor.

Top it all off with cheese, tomatoes, avocados, jalapeños – whatever your heart desires. A little hot sauce would be great as well. The sky is the limit!

If you are looking for a way to step up your mornings, this Southwestern Breakfast Bowl is your answer. I can’t think of a better way to start the day!

To make it even heartier, add in some cooked bacon, sausage or ham.
