Breakfast Pizza

    Don't let "pizza" throw you off.  It's really a breakfast casserole, only fairly flat.  But SO yummy.  I made it this morning for the first time. 

1 tube of Pillsbury reduced fat Crescent Roll dough
4 eggs
2 Tbsp fresh minced onion
6 slices of bacon
7-8 slices of swiss cheese
salt/pepper

Fry ya up some bacon.  Spread out roll dough on top of lightly greased 9 X 13 with some of it going up on the side of the dish.  Place swiss cheese slices over the roll dough.  Mix together all of the eggs, salt, pepper, and onion.  Spread over cheese.  Sprinkle crumbled up bacon on top.  Place tin foil over it and bake at 350 degrees for almost an hour.  

Yummy!  Stuart even suggested slicing up a tomato and serving the tomato on top of the casserole.  We're going to try that next time :)

Broccoli Cornbread

  As fall is approaching, this is one of my FAVORITE things to make.  It's a perfect pairing with soup of any kind and it makes a big ole pan full.  If you cut it up and store it in a tupperware after it cools, it keeps for another several meals :)

Broccoli Cornbread

2 pkgs Jiffy corn bread mix

2 sticks margarine or butter  (I use only one and a half)

8 0z. cottage cheese, regular or low-fat  (I use low-fat, but I buy the 16 oz. tub and use more like 3/4 of the container so the bread isn't dry)

4 eggs

1 med. onion, chopped

1 (10-oz) pkg. frozen chopped broccoli, thawed

 

Preheat oven to 375.  Melt margarine in 10 x 12 x 2 pan. Mix other

ingredients together and pour into pan on top of melted margarine.  DO NOT

STIR in with margarine, just spread.  Bake for 30 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 and bake

 another 20 minutes until nice and brown.

Mexican Lasagna

  I will have to preface this with 
"I have never made nor eaten this recipe."

HOWEVER, it comes highly recommended from my momma, as she says someone at her school brought this to lunch and it was delicious.  After reading the ingredients, I don't see how it couldn't be.  And it looks very easy to make.  Let me know if you try it and how it worked out!!

Mexican Chicken Lasagna 
 

1-can Cream of Chicken Soup

1-can Cream of Mushroom Soup

1-can Cheddar Cheese Soup

1-can Rotel tomatoes

4 cups of diced chicken (I just buy a rotisserie one and this works well)

4 cups Mexican Blend cheese

Flour Tortillas 

Preheat oven to 350.

Combine soups, tomatoes, and chicken together in a bowl. Grease 9x13 pan. Layer tortillas, chicken mix, cheese. Repeat layers ending with tortillas then cheese. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until bubbly.
