Camper's Hearty Breakfast Scramble

This Camper's Hearty Breakfast Scramble came about on a camp trip. I now make it in the comforts of my kitchen. I still call it camper's hearty breakfast scramble because it's even better over an open flame. Potatoes, eggs, bacon, green onions and cheddar come together in a fill-you-up meal that will keep you satisfied long into the day.
