MOPS Friday!

The MOPS casseroles are in the oven, and the boys are still sleeping so I thought I would take a minute to blog.

First, here is my Breakfast Egg Casserole recipe:

Breakfast Egg Casserole

6 eggs beaten well

1/4 cup flour

1/4 tsp salt

1 small can chopped green chilies

1 cup cottage cheese (small or large curd) (Mom - you don't even taste this when it is baked!)

1/2 stick melted butter

1/2 tsp baking powder

2 cups grated Monterrey jack cheese

1 package any flavor sausage (can also be low fat) I think I usually use either sage.

Cook the sausage first, beat the eggs and then combine w/remaining ingredients. Pour into a greased 9/13 pan.

Bake for 30 min. at 350

This is a good one. It is nice if you like spicy for breakfast.

Here is another recipe. I didn't have time to make this one but it is awesome!

Sausage Cheese Balls

2 lbs. (32oz.) Jimmy Dean Sausage, uncooked

1 ½ cups all-purpose baking/biscuit mix (Bisquick)

16 oz. sharp cheddar cheese (or 4 cups shredded)

½ cup finely chopped onion

½ cup finely chopped celery

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Preheat oven to 375. Shred cheese and mix all ingredients. Form into 1 inch balls. Bake 15 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet until golden brown. Makes about 6 dozen. Sausage cheese balls can be frozen uncooked. For a firmer texture, add an extra 3 cups of baking/biscuit mix and an extra 2 cups of shredded cheese to the ingredients listed above.

Note: I buy the bag of sharp cheddar cheese that is shredded but NOT FINELY shredded. Also, I use a white onion.

More later!

Sunday Update

We have had a good weekend. DadOf3 took a 1/2 day to work on the deck on Friday. He got the stairs started on Friday and finished on Saturday. Next is the railing. After a few coats of stain, it will be done and there will be much rejoicing at our house. :)

Yesterday DadOf3 worked on the stairs all day until 5:00. One of his co-workers and his family came over to play some cards after that. I made a couple of fun things to eat - my good taco dip and banana bread. The kids love the banana bread. Playing cards was fun....

Taco Dip
Brown 1 pound of ground beef
Spread two 8-ounce packages of cream cheese on the bottom of a 9x13x2 pan
Sprinkle browned ground beef over cream cheese
Pour 1 1/2 bottles of your favorite kind of salsa over the top of the meat
Sprinkle shredded Mexican cheese over the top of the salsa
Serve with corn chips
