Beefy Huevos Rancheros

in ,

Good morning sunshine! This simple weekend breakfast or brunch is good for you – body and soul! It’s a snap to make with simple pantry ingredients and nutrient-packed eggs, Cheddar and lean Canadian beef. You can use up to 8 eggs, and if you prefer a smoky fiery version, add a teaspoon or so chopped canned chipotle peppers.
