This is one of my all time favorite Dutch oven breakfast recipes. I have used it on many family camping trips and on at least a dozen campouts with my Scout troop. It is certainly not a low fat or low carb meal, but it is hearty and will equip the family or the Scouts for a full day of activities or hiking.
