Ok – the idea started with this Scrambled Breakfast Hash but I couldn’t quite bring myself to use the tater tots because of the fat content.
Instead:  canned whole potatoes, green & red peppers, onions, and bacon – chopped and browned…

Fresh green beans: covered with water, brought to a boil, drained and quick sauteed with a little olive oil and drizzled with white balsamic vinegar – once the lamb was finished in the oven, it rested on counter (covered in foil) for approximately 20-minutes – returned the potatoes to the oven, turned up the temperature to 400-degrees to finish roasting
