Breakfast Casserole

This weekend was busy, but I still had time to play around with a recipe.  I love breakfast casseroles.  I usually put them in muffin tins, but wanted to see if it was easier to make a large casserole and just cut it into portions.  It was. :)

The casserole turned out so pretty it was almost to pretty to eat, but eat it I will!  The recipe is very versatile, so you can swap out the veggies to use what you have on hand as well as the meat.  I used turkey sausage, I believe you could  use almost anything - ham, pork sausage, bacon etc.

This recipe does call for a lot of eggs, but if you want you can easily half this recipe.

First you will brown your meat and place the sausage in the baking dish. You will then layer any vegetables you have on top of this.  For this one, I had baby spinach (picked fresh that day by me) and Roma tomatoes.  You could easily use peppers, zucchini, squash, and mushrooms (in case you are wanting some ideas for different veggies.) You could also place layer of cheese on top of the veggies. Want it more spicy? Add a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce or some jalapeno peppers. That would be delicious too! 




After this, you wish the eggs and pour on top.


It is now ready for the oven.  Yes, it is that easy. Bake it for about 30-45 minutes until the eggs are set in the middle. You can be sure they are done by inserting a knife into the center of the casserole. If it comes out clean, they are done.




I then cut this into 12 squares and ate one (ok 2 pieces) right away!  It really does taste as good as it looks.

Weekend Meal Prep - Easter Weekend

Image
First, I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend! Ours has been beyond blessed. We spent all day Saturday at the ball fields then today, our oldest two got baptized. My heart is so full right now! Since we were going to be busy, I split the meal prep into two days instead of all on one day. As it happens on most weekends, I ended up altering my original meal plan I had posted earlier.  I decided to not fix the rice with the taco salads.  I also added some roasted asparagus because my parents gave us some they had just picked out of their garden.  What is better than fresh?  Our grill is also out of commission so I made Sauteed Garlic Chicken.  That is one of the things I LOVE about cooking.  I can take each recipe and make it work for us. If you notice, I use parchment paper when cooking anything in the oven.  This is to save me time. The parchment paper keeps foods from sticking to my pan. It also keeps my pan from getting very dirty which ma...

Weekend Meal Prep 4/29 and 4/30

A day late and a dollar short! I normally post these on Sunday, but didn't have time.  I again altered my plan from earlier in the week.  For Meal #3 instead of roasted chicken, I grilled it.  I also had some fresh veggies leftover from Meal #1 so I decided to grill those too.  Out grill finally kicked the bucket at the very end of the summer/fall last year, and we decided not to replace it until it was time to grill again this year. Well we got a grill this weekend and I was more than ready to use it! Day 1 - Chicken Parmesan over Sauteed Vegetables. For this, I had no recipe. I started by preheating my oven to 425 and chopping up my veggies. I used 1 lb of zucchini, 1 lb of squash, and a few onions.  You can add whatever you want to for this. I then heated up 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the pan and sauteed these veggies until tender.  I also added some salt and pepper to taste.  Once done, I placed these in the bottom of a greased 9x13 i...

Weekend Meal Prep 5/06

SO, I had taken some beautiful pictures of all my food, but somehow my camera ate them. I am an engineer and yet my camera and computer teamed up against me and I can't retrieve some pictures. I did happen to save a few though. We only cooked one time this week. I had went to a local grocery store to get meat for the grill and noticed they had chicken and pork on sale. I went ahead and stocked up on this and didn't cook any of the fish. I started out by getting the meat marinated.  My husband requested a homemade white sauce, so I went ahead. With the chicken, I will eat mine with the skin removed, so I didn't see it as a big deal. All my white sauce includes is a Little bit of Mayo, A lot of vinegar, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can add more  mayo or less vinegar depending on your tastes. Some people like their white sauce sweet, so add sugar if this is the case. I mixed up my white sauce and added the pork tenderloin and chicken to it. I let it marinate unti...
