   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1      can           hominy grits -- rinsed and drained
      1/2  can           tomatoes with green chilis -- with juice
                         (ie, Rotel)
      1/2  cup           Egg Beaters 99% egg substitute -- lightly beaten with
                         splash of water or nonfat milk
      1/2  package       hashed brown potatoes -- frozen, cubed style
                         red and green bell peppers -- chopped; optional
                         onions -- chopped; optional
    2      teaspoons     chili powder -- or to taste
      1/2  teaspoon      cumin -- to 1 tsp
                         fresh ground black pepper
                         hot sauce -- at serving time
                         Vegetarian sausage -- optional
 
 Use the cubed style frozen hash browns, not the shredded ones. I used Ore
 Ida’s “Potatoes O'Brien” that has peppers and onions in it.
 
 (If you are not using frozen hash browns that already have peppers and
 onions, you may wish to saute some prior to beginning the potatoes.)
 
 Preheat nonstick skillet. Add frozen hash browns and seasonings. When the
 potatoes are mostly cooked, add the Rotel tomatoes and the drained hominy.
 Cook until heated through.
 
 Make a “crater”  in the center of the pan by pushing everything to the side
 of the pan. Pour the lightly beaten Egg Beaters into the hole you just
 created. Let them begin to set, and gently drag a spatula across the bottom
 of the pan, allowing the unset eggs to flow to the bottom. When the eggs
 are fully cooked, gently stir the other ingredients back into the eggs. Be
 careful not to break the eggs up to much as you don't them to completely
 disappear.
 
 Note: The eggs may be “scrambled” in a separate pan and then folded into
 the hominy, potato and tomato mixture.
 
 Lowfat vegetarian sausage patties or links may  be precooked, crumbled, and
 added to the mixture.  (I liked it with the “sausage” added; my husband
 preferred his sausage on the side.)
