Breakfast Haystacks

-

I had prepped some loose sausage over the weekend thinking to make a hearty breakfast for my family sometime but never really got around to doing it. So rather than leaving it in the fridge for an indefinite time, you know till it's no longer fresh, I decided to make this last evening for our supper. It never ceases to amaze me what a growing boy can eat! and we have 3 of them. I made a 9 X 13 pan of this casserole with a whole bag of hash browns, 1 dozen eggs w/1 cup of milk*, 1 lb. of sausage and cheese sauce. When all was said and done one serving remained!

* Instead of the milk you can add a half can of cream of chicken soup and 1½ teaspoons lemon juice. The lemon juice is to keep the eggs from turning green and the soup is to keep the eggs fluffy and it adds a wonderful flavor!
Prepare everything individually and layer in a greased baking dish. Pour cheese sauce over the top and garnish as desired. If you prepare it ahead of time it only needs to be baked to heat through.

For the cheese Sauce:
2 Tablespoon butter
2 Tablespoon all purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 cup shredded velveeta cheese
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Tabasca sauce, to taste

Melt butter. Add flour and stir till there are no lumps. Add milk and stir till smooth. Then slowly add the cheese stirring until each addition is melted. Season to your taste.

I am not a fan of the breakfast casseroles with all the soggy bread so this is always a welcome alternative. The kids loved it!

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, starting on
