Can't go wrong with some breakfast tacos/burritos. Easy, simple, and quick. Or do a breakfast tator tot casserole. You can assemble it the night before and then throw it on the pit to cook.

Biscuits and gravy and eggs are our go to. I make the sausage gravy the day before and reheat it in an aluminum pan on the grill. I put a cast iron skillet on the other side of the grill and make eggs as people are ready to eat. Grab a couple biscuits and tear it into pieces in a bowl and throw some gravy and 2 over easy eggs on the top. Absolutely the best.
Breakfast is not too hard on the grill. While you can pre-make and reheat things like breakfast burritos it sure tastes better right off the grill after it was made than reheated the next day. Just need some tin foil pans and maybe some kind of skillet depending on what you make. I've plugged in an electric skillet to the generator before which helps if you want some crispy hashbrowns.
We are going to do real eggs, sausage, bacon, and some kind of potato and veggies as a side tomorrow. We've done scrambles, burritos, and sandwiches before. Did a marinated flank steak burrito loaded up with grilled veggies and potatoes for a breakfast earlier this season that was delicious.

Is there something wrong with traditional griddle food? Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage and French toast. Get your Bkackstone ready.
Edit: Rip and dip method for eating the French toast. Pour maple syrup into a dipping cup and chow down.
I've had the smashed part down several times in the morning before.
Less so as I get older tho.
Jimmy Dean’s has a maple flavored sausage that is pretty good. I’ve used it in breakfast casseroles, but haven’t tried it for biscuits and gravy.
To clarify, burritos tomorrow, along with cheesy breakfast potatos, donuts and fruit. We will have pumpkin pie in a cup for late morning. Also, bloodys, mimosas, screw drivers, coffee and baileys and hot cider with Carmel vodka.
The other stuff I suggested, like sandwiches and pancakes, are other things we make on game weekends. Pumpkin pancakes with pecans and cinnamon infused syrup is a favorite. We mix it up depending on game time. Casey’s if we don’t have time.
We had 60+ at our tailgate last weekend, which might have been a record.
