Growing up Dad's Pepperoni Western Eggs was made often just about any time of the day but especially on a Sunday night after we had our early macaroni dinner.

Sometimes we would have just peppers and eggs other times he would add leftover meats and sliced potatoes and sliced hot ham capicola was always my favorite just a little burnt on the edges added.
