Casserole

On lazy weekend mornings or when entertaining a crowd, it may be more fitting to serve brunch rather than breakfast or lunch.

Brunch enables guests or family members to sleep in a little later. Plus the filling combination of menu items can keep people satisfied until dinner later on in the evening. This recipe puts together a blend of savory ingredients into an egg casserole that can be a winner on any brunch table.

You’ll Need:

1lb bacon, diced

2 c cubed cooked ham

1⁄2 lb breakfast sausage, cooke and crumbled

1 small purple onion, diced

1⁄2 red bell pepper, diced

1⁄2 yellow bell pepper diced

10 eggs, beaten

1⁄2 c heavy cream

1 20 oz package frozen shredded hash browns

1 c shredded Monterey Jack cheese salt to taste ground black pepper to taste

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.

2. In a very large cast-iron skillet (12-inch or larger), over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Then add the ham and sausage and stir.

3. Add the onions and peppers, and sauté for 5 minutes, always stirring.

4. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and heavy cream.

5. Stir thawed hash browns into the skillet, and add salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, until hash browns start to brown. Remove from heat.

6. Add the egg mixture, top with cheese, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until bubbly and cheese is melted.

SUDOKU

How It Works:

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
