Method
 

How to Make Freezer Breakfast Burritos
  1. Cook the Meat: Start by browning the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until it’s no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes, and drain excess grease.
  2. Prepare the Hash Browns: In the same skillet, add the thawed hash browns. Cook until golden and crispy, stirring occasionally for about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the diced onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until they soften and start to caramelize.
  4. Scramble the Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper. Pour into the skillet and cook until just set, gently stirring for about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Assemble the Burritos: Lay out the flour tortillas and evenly distribute the filling—egg mixture, meat, hash browns, and shredded cheese. Wrap them tightly.
  6. Freeze for Later: Once wrapped, lay the burritos in the freezer for about an hour to firm up, then transfer to a freezer bag.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider serving with salsa or avocado. Ensure tortillas are warm to prevent tearing during assembly. Freeze burritos for about an hour before transferring to maintain shape.
