Eggs. My boys LOVE eggs! Seth especially. Hard-boiled, fried, scrambled, in a burrito, you name it, they love them! So, I thought Seth would be delighted to make a Breakfast Casserole recipe I got from my dear friend Margo. Silly me, he is a teenager after all, and the stars must align for him to be "in the mood" to cook regardless of the recipe. So, Cade willingly volunteered to make it. There was no way I was going to let Seth eat another Costco Angus burger!
Cade was doubly thrilled to make "bumpy stuff" for dessert, (aka "Strawberry Delight") which comes from a fund-raiser cook book from our old neighborhood. An almost healthy dessert I might add, were it not for the cool whip! Not the most well-balanced meal I'll admit, but protein rich and tasty too. At least there were strawberries!
Breakfast Casserole (whenever possible we used "light" ingredients)
preheat oven 400-425 degrees, bake 30-40 min.
1 can crescent rolls
1 pkg little smokies
2 c grated cheese
3/4 c milk
6-8 eggs
pepper to taste
Spread crescent rolls on bottom of buttered or "pam-ed" 9x13 baking dish, making sure
all seams are sealed. Sprinkle rolls with sliced sausages followed by 1/2 the cheese. Combine
milk, eggs & pepper & mix well. Pour over sausage and cheese. Add remaining cheese. Bake as directed or until slightly browned and center set. Serve with picante if desired.
