slowwww dowwwnnnn

It’s Saturday morning... Time to fix a nice breakfast for the family! I LOVE weekend breakfasts! It’s a chance for us to take our time and prepare a wonderful meal... not the rush of the weekday morning breakfasts! This morning I was thinking of the great meal my sister, Heather, prepared for our family when we visited them over the holidays. I decided I would make my own variation with items I had in the fridge and pantry. (Today I actually used a package of dehydrated potatoes I have from Costco... these are the best! Once rehydrated (10 minutes) it’s set to go! These are pretty handy to have on hand!) You could make so many terrific variations of this meal... it’s as endless as what’s in your fridge/pantry or imagination! 

Here’s how I fixed it today:

Weekend Breakfast Casserole  

ha! designs (inspired by Heather Cox)

Yield: 6 to 9 servings

Ingredients:

3 cups hash brown potatoes (use frozen, or rehydrated, or layer hash brown patties)

2 cups shredded cheese

4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled into 1/2” slices

1 or 2 chicken sausages, sliced into bite size pieces

1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped

1/2 cup green onions, sliced

4 eggs

1/2 cup milk

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground mustard

pinch chipotle pepper

pinch garlic powder

pinch black pepper

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350. Spray 8 x 8 baking dish with cooking spray or butter/grease dish. Place hash browns in a single layer and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sprinkle with cheese, meats, jalapeño, and green onions. In a bowl beat; eggs, milk, salt, mustard, chipotle, garlic, and black pepper. Pour over layers. Cover and bake for 1 hour. Uncover; bake 15 minutes longer or until edges are golden brown and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. 

NOTE: Use whatever left over meat you have... steak, etc. This is a great way to liven up any leftovers... Basically whatever you like in an omelette will be delicious here! Add more veggies: spinach, sautéed mushrooms, leeks, etc., if you like!
