Onion & Sausage Casserole

 Start with the onions covering the bottom of your lightly greased baking dish.
Sprinkle a nice layer of crushed buttery crackers like Ritz or the No Name version.
 Slow cook Mild Italian sausages in about 1/2 an inch of water in the bottom of a frying pan then remove when cooked and slice, returning to frying pan on med-high heat to nicely brown up the sausages. Add 1 can of mushroom soup making sure to mix in all that yummy browned up juices from the pan then spoon over onions and crackers.
 Cover and place in oven for roughly 30 minutes at 400
 Sprinkle old cheddar cheese over. Yummm
 Finished meal with a side of Garlic & Dill mashed potatoes.
Yum!

Breakfast Bowls

As you may have noticed by looking at my past posts that I LOVE bacon... You just can't go wrong with bacon!

I have seen others making these awesome looking muffin cups with bacon and egg in them so I decided to try it out and put my own twist on it.

 I have these awesome individual sized casserole dishes that just so happened to work perfectly for what I wanted them to. I just simply stuffed a piece of bread in there and Voila!  (the muffin cups often ask you to use a cookie cutter and cut your bread then lay it in the pan. I made mine simple and to the point)



 Layered the bacon to form a "bowl" then returned to the oven to brown up a bit.
 Once the bacon has browned up a bit I cracked an egg in there and a very light sprinkle of black pepper.
 I decided to sprinkle some old cheddar cheese on top ;-)

Finished product with mini hash-brown patties. Yumm!

Again like almost everything else I tend to make, this is very easy and easily enjoyable.
