Hello Valentina! This recipe looks very tasty, I would like to give it a try but was wondering if I could replace the sausage with just ground meat like beef?
Hi there, Luba. Honestly, I’ve never tested with anything other than ground Italian sausage so I cannot be for sure (maybe you could just add some Italian seasoning to the meat while sauteeing?). Sorry that wasn’t very helpful. If you give it a try, I’d love your feedback. 🙂 🙂
This is our favorite breakfast! So delicious!
Thanks, Anna. That’s wonderful to hear.
