Another Great Egg Recipe - Farmhouse Casserole

If you have very many chickens, sooner or later you are going to find yourself overrun with eggs.

 

One of our favorite recipes for dealing with an overabundance of eggs is the traditional Farmhouse Casserole.  There seems to be a thousand different ways to make it, but here's our personal favorite:

 

Ingredients:

• 8-10 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 3 cups potatoes, shredded or chopped, frozen or fresh
• 1/2 cup onion
• 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
• 1 cup cooked meat of choice (crumbled sausage, chopped ham, crumbled bacon)
• 2 cups cheddar cheese (or other cheese of choice)
• 1 tablespoon of Mrs. Dash's Garlic Herb seasoning

Directions:

1. Lightly grease a 13x9 baking dish.
2. In a bowl, combine potatoes, onion, bell pepper, and meat.
3. In a separate bowl, scramble together the eggs, milk and seasoning.
4. Add the egg mixture to the meat mixture bowl, add in cheese and mix all together.
5. Dump the entire mixture into the baking dish .
6. This casserole can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours at this point, or baked immediately in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes or until eggs are completely set.

This is a great casserole because it does well microwaved and that means a couple days of breakfasts for the hubby and I with no additional work on my part.  Just serve with couple pieces of toast and you are all set!
