    Then top it with 1.5 pounds of sausage, top that with more grated cheese, then top that with fried eggs (medium so the yolk runs out) then top with a nice spicy salsa and you got yourself quite the sit down. Sop it all up with a slightly over lightly toasted wheat bread (have to at least try to be healthy).

    Hell yeah I'm cooking this soon.

    A friend of mine has a restaurant in Fort Worth, and one a thing he does is serves waffle fries with bacon and chives, and gorgonzola cheese. It's awesome!!!

    Gawd, it sounds like a milkfat and carbohydrate critical mass.

    Always liked tater tots, though . . .

    cant beat tater tots. mixing in lots of crumbled bacon sounds good too. and maybe top with crumbled bacon for good measure!

    My wife does something similar with a bag of frozen has browns. It's amazing.

    Uh, there was no sausage, eggs, or salsa on what we ate Saturday night.

    I would drop the corn flakes and use bacon for the crunch. I would probably also put this between a couple o slices of bread with a few fried eggs and a spoonfull of really thick hog's head cheese grits.

    That is exactly how we usually fix it, but I posted the "real" recipe. If one daughter helps, even more cheese goes in. The corn flakes are much better than they sound, though.

    I am gonna have to try the bacon. Sounds like it will be even better.
