Easy Quick Breakfast Casserole

So my 1st official week back to a full time job out of the home, in 11 years.   In the past i was running a business of my home, it is easy to start dinner mid day.  Meal Planning is becoming super important since I am out of the house.  Last week I was up Wednesday night late cutting and prepping veggies for soup for my daughter birthday.   I definitely have to do a make ahead mirepoix on the weekend.  Also precooking sausage and ground beef is going to needed to make meals happen in the evenings.

 

Easy Quick Breakfast Casserole

I did make a egg casserole for Easter brunch at church.  My daughter sang 2 services they had a brunch in the middle.  Which was lovely for all the family’s and members.   I was making my item to take-  egg casseroles at 7 am so they were hot. I used a Jimmy Dean Precooked Sausage crumbles ($3.50)  The cost a little more then cooking it yourself but I split the package between two  9″x13″ pans.  I was impressed by the ease of the pre cooked.

cheesy rice and hillshire farms sausageHow to get your husband to make dinner with Hillshire Farms Sausage

I ask my husband to make dinner, because I was going out to my Moms group.  Now my husband grew up in a casserole family,  which is means when he does cook most of his meals are made in one pot / dish.   He was making dinner for himself and 2 kids.

So he looks in the freezer and finds the 2 packages Hillshire Farms Sausages.  Note: I am suppose to create a recipe with them, write a blog post and then do a giveaway.  At the time I was still working  on the post in my head.

Well he was so helpful, he took the Hillshire farms and made dinner.. (there goes my blog post..)  When I called to check he said he was using both packages..

I said  “honey.. there for a tasty tues blog post”..

He said “Too late.. they are defrosted and I am using them”

He said “I will take pictures for your post”…(he is not me with a camera.. But I love him because he tried.. he could have cleaned of the stove before the pictures)

Cabbage Casserole Healthy St. Patricks Day

9 Comments

St. Patrick’s day is this weekend. I grew up eating Corned Beef and cabbage,  my mouth is watering.   I love corn-beef and cabbage but  I am trying to be healthy.  The vegs cooked in the corned-beef fat add flavor and unwanted calories.  So I came up with a way to get the flavor with out the fat and grease.   The key is the cumin, which gives the depth of flavor.

• 1 head of cabbage remove outer layer slice thin
• 3 carrots sliced thin 1/8”
• 7-9 Brussels sprouts sliced
• 1/2 can of chicken stock (healthy) or ½ stick of butter
• Cumin (sprinkle)
• Salt
• Pepper

2. Slice potatoes place on bottom of dish
3. Layer cabbage then carrots
4. adding salt pepper , cumin to taste each layer
