1

Gather all ingredients. Build a campfire and let it burn until a bed of coals forms. Set a grate over the fire.
2

Set a 12-inch cast iron Dutch oven on the grate. Add sausage, onion, and garlic; cook and stir until the sausage is browned and crumbly and the onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
3

Stir in hash browns and bell peppers until combined. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the hash browns are hot and the peppers are tender, about 15 minutes.
4

Pour the beaten eggs into the Dutch oven, letting them seep down to the bottom.
5

Cover the Dutch oven and set it directly on 5 to 10 hot coals. Place another 12 to 18 hot coals on the lid. Cook until the eggs are firm, about 40 minutes.
6

Open the lid and sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Cover and cook until the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.
