Yagelski Egg Casserole

Tonight, I made chocolate chip cookies! They were delightful! We used the Nestle Tollhouse recipe. You can't go wrong with that one! I'm not posting it b/c, well, it's on the back of the chocolate chips. I am however posting another recipe. I made up an egg casserole for our breakfast tomorrow. I got this recipe from my sister Becky, who got it from her mother in law. It's really good! Give it a go!

Yagelski Egg Casserole

9 eggs (beaten)
1 pkg (2 cups) shredded cheese
5 slices of bread, torn up
2 pkg smokies, cut up
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tsp dry mustard
pepper to taste

Mix all together and pour into a 9x13 glass baking dish. Let sit in the fridge overnight. (You must make this up the night before! Very Imporatnt!) Bake uncovered for 1 hour at 350 degrees.


On a side note, my dad makes a KILLER egg casserole! I got his recipe too, and I am trying it next time we have Josh. These casseroles tend to feed a lot of people (I mean, it is enough to fill a 9x13 pan!) so I've decided only make them when all three of us will be home. I suppose you could 1/2 the recipe, but I've never tried, so proceed at your own risk!

White Chicken Lasagna

This was a huge hit! We had family over and everyone who tried this loved it! You know me, I like my cooking easy, so there are some shortcuts in here, but it tasted great nonetheless! A note: I am not much for measuring, so I try to get measurements to post on here, but with spices, it really is all to taste. Different people like different spices, so I will generally put a dash of spice instead of an actual measurement.



What you'll need and how to do it.

1 box oven ready lasagna noodles
1 jar alfredo sauce
1/2 cup fresh mushrooms, chopped
1/4 onion, chopped
1 tub ricotta cheese
1 lump (?) fresh mozzarella
1 can chicken
dash garlic salt
dash italian seasoning (or use a bit of oregano, thyme, basil)

Saute onions and mushrooms in olive oil until tender. Add chicken, alfredo sauce, and seasonings. Bring to a simmer. Layer some of this in the bottom of an 8x8 dish. Add one layer of noodles, then another layer of sauce, then a layer of ricotta cheese, then repeat starting with noodles. Top final layer with sliced fresh mozzarella. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees fro 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.

Shepard's Pie

I decided to go nice and easy today for lunch and made Shepard's Pie. It has quickly become a favorite of ours. It's so easy to make and I, of course, make it even easier. Here is my version of Shepard's Pie.

3 cups frozen mixed vegetables

Cook potatoes according to package. Brown ground beef with onion. Mix with veggies and soup. Put on bottom of 8X8 baking dish. Top with potatoes. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Enjoy!
