Egg Scrambles
This is a cheater recipe based on the popular store bought item named Just Crack an Egg Cups. This is a perfect make ahead dish, think freezer meals. To prepare one of these, just thaw in the fridge overnight, crack in an egg or two, stir, and microwave. I plan on putting together a number of these dishes to keep on hand in the freezer. Prep and cook time listed does not include the time to prepare these or cook the meats used, only to prepare a single serving. There is 4 versions listed here, you can certainly make them to your taste as well. Each version listed is for 1 serving (1 Egg Scramble), prep more ingredients and make more to freeze for use later.

Instructions
- Prep veggies by dicing, and prep the sweet potato by cooking first then dicing. Prep meats by cooking then crumbling or chopping. Allow meats to cool.
- Label freezer zip lock bags then add measured out ingredients. Roll and flatten bags to get out as much air as possible, then seal.
- Place the bags in the freezer.
- When you want to enjoy one of these, simply remove a bag from the freezer and place in the fridge and allow to thaw overnight. The next morning, empty the contents of the bag into a microwave safe coffee cup, bowl, or an ideal container would be a wide mouth pint mason jar.
- Crack in one or two eggs, stir into the veggies/meats.
- For 1 egg: Place dish in microwave and cook for 1 minute. Stir, then cook for another minute. Cook for additional 30 second intervals until the egg is completely cooked through.
- For 2 eggs: Place dish in microwave and cook for 1 minute 30 seconds. Stir, then cook for an additional 1 minute 30 seconds. Cook for additional 30 second intervals until the egg is completely cooked through.
- If cooking in a mason jar, a give away is the color of the eggs, cooked eggs will be a lighter yellow, with the uncooked a darker color. Cook until the color is a light yellow and uniform throughout.
- Enjoy.
