Double Meat Breakfast Casserole

I feed a bunch of boys on Thursday mornings for my husbands bible study group...I am always looking for great breakfast recipes...this recipe is a combo of several recipes i found that were very good, I have made this with just the sausage and I made it with just ham and I also made it with crumbled cooked bacon....so the options are WIDE OPEN.....just be careful on the salt content...i do not add any salt. The combination of these meats adds enough salt for one persons intake for the day........I promise!!!!


1 loaf of bread
1 pound ground mild sausage
10 eggs, beaten
1 can evaporated milk
pinch of pepper
1 pound of ham cubed into tiny pieces
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese

butter the bottom of your 18 1/2 x 9 1/2 pan. Cut the crust off each piece of bread, (start with 1/2 the loaf, you may not use the whole loaf)....lay each piece on the bottom of the pan, make sure it is completely covered...Fry the sausage and drain. Place the ham pieces over the bread, then put the crumbled sausage, sprinkle the cheese over the meat mixture

I totally forgot to take a picture of the bread laying in the bottom i took this one to show you that the bread is completely covering the bottom.
. Beat the eggs and add the milk and mix in with the eggs, pour over the casserole. Cover and refridgerate over night.

ready for the fridge..........In the morning preheat oven to 350. Bake the casserole for 45 min or until eggs are set......

MEATZA MEATZA..........................this is seriously so yummy

Paula Deen's Baked Grits

I am from the South and grits are just part of our food chain along with SWEET TEA!...cooking grits can be somewhat boring with no flavor unless lots of butter is used and salt and maybe even add some cheese.  Some people don't like the texture, but I am all about grits and eggs YES PLEASE!!!!! THANK YOU!. I found that Paula's Baked grits recipe is one of the best ways to make grits, it has butter and cheese and even a hint of garlic all in one pan...so if your a skeptic, I really suggest you try this recipe.......I think it will change your mind..........

4 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup uncooked grits
2 eggs, beaten
1 stick of butter
1 1/2 cups grated Monterey jack and cheddar cheese combined
2 gloves garlic, crushed
dash of cayenne pepper (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Bring water and salt to a boil.  Add grits to boiling water, stirring constantly for a minute. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until grits are thick and creamy.

Temper eggs with a small amount of hot cooked grits, this is important you will have scrambled eggs in your grits if you don't temper...(beat your eggs with a whisk or fork in a bowl, add a spoonful of hot grits to the eggs and whisk immediately...) add eggs and the remaining ingredients in with the grits stirring till incorporated

pour into a 2 quart casserole dish, bake for 45 minutes...top with additional cheese, if desired

a bowl of creamy, cheesy, with a hint of garlic, oh so yummy grits! Thanks Paula!!!
