Farmer's Breakfast Casserole and pancakes!

Sometimes for dinner I like to make breakfast food. I usually make the same thing. Pancakes, scrambled eggs, toast, etc. So I decided to try something a little different and I thought it was very good!


Farmer's Breakfast Casserole
Ingredients:

• 3-4 medium-large potatoes (peeled and cubed and boiled until just fork tender)
• 1 cup of Cheddar cheese (you could really use any cheese you like!)
• 1.5 cups of breakfast meat (you could use ham, sausage, bacon. i used sausage and bacon this time)Cook it first!
• 6-8 green onions, chopped (include lots of the green!)
• 6 large eggs
• 2 cups milk
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 13x8 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Arrange the potatoes in a layer in the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3. Sprinkle cheese over potatoes followed by breakfast meat and last the green onions.
4. In a medium bowl whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour egg mixture over potato mixture. Bake, uncovered 50-60 minutes, until center is just set. Let sit for 10 min. Cut and serve!




Basic Pancakes
Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups all purpose flour
• 2 Tbs sugar
• 2 tsps baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1.5 cups milk
• 3 Tbs melted butter or vegetable oil

Directions:
1. In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and melter butter. Add to dry ingredients and whisk until just blended. (don't over mix!)
2. Prehat a nonstick griddle or skillet over med-high heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 batter (I just use a measuring cup. If you want bigger pancakes use 1/2 cup) onto griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles for on top, about 2 min. Turn and cook until other side is golden, about 1 min longer. Serve with toppings of your choice!

Now I have made Bisquick pancakes many times and last night my boys said they like these much better. I thought they tasted better too!
