Noah's Surprise Breakfast

2012-11-10T17:15:00.000-08:00

Tweets by @Chatmemorecom

Hi everyone,
I woke this morning to my son asking me what's for breakfast? He also didn't
want the traditional breakfast. I became creative and decided to make something that only
took one pan that all the ingredients could fit. I also didn't want anything that was going to
be time consuming being I had to go work.
I didn't want to deal with cleaning the top of the stove so I decided to bake something. I took out a non-stick pie pan "9 inches" and poured canola oil in the bottom of the pan just enough to cover the bottom. I was out of butter so this was my only option. I placed hamburger rolls on the bottom of the pan until pan was covered (4). I poured (maple)syrup on top and a little of brown sugar. I scrambled fours eggs and added spices, garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper and a splash of milk. Poured it on top of the burger rolls and baked it in the oven for 30 minutes. Happy to announce that my family absolutely loved it and this will be a go to meal.

Ingredients
8-9 inch non-stick pan
4 burger rolls
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup of maple syrup
1 tablespoon brown sugar
4 eggs scrambled
Sprinkle garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper
Splash of milk

Preparation
Preheat oven to 350
Pour oil in pan
Place rolls on bottom of the pan
Pour syrup on top of rolls and the brown sugar
Add scrambled eggs with spices and milk
Pour on top and bake for 30 to 40 minutes
until eggs are firm and the bread is slightly toasted

Don't be afraid to add your own flare to it. Cheese may also be
an option that would go well with this dish.

This meal cost under $2.00 to make.

Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon butter
4 Green bell peppers
1 1/2 pounds ground sirloin
1/2 pound ground sausage (hot, mild, your choice)
1 small white onion, diced fine
Oregano, Seasoned Pepper and Fennel Seed [optional] to taste

6 ounces of fresh Feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup grated parmesan or romano cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)

Spray casserole dish with PAM. Cook ground sirloin and sausage at low to medium heat, stirring often. Once meat is cooked through, drain thoroughly. Add all butter, onions, garlic, oregano, seasoned pepper, fennel seed and 3/4 of tomatoes. Simmer over low heat approximately 20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Cut off tops of all peppers, remove inner seeds and membranes and wash thoroughly. Fill all peppers with meat mixture, alternating with a layer of feta and parmesan cheeses. Place peppers into a casserole dish, side by side, adding the remaining tomatoes to the dish (around and under the peppers so they cook up and into the peppers.) [Alternatively, you can cut peppers in half vertically and stuff each half, making serving easier and speeding bake-time.]

Add any remaining mixture around the peppers and sprinkle all remaining feta and parmesan cheeses on top. Add shredded mozzarella cheese if desired for a hint of extra flavor.

Bake at 350°F for approximately 30 minutes or until browned and bubbly as desired.

Makes 4 stuffed peppers (or 8 half-peppers.) 5 net grams of carbohydrate per serving.

roast.

The pot roast should be slightly pink inside. This of course should
be based on one's preference.

The flour will thicken the juice from the pot roast
and this will make a delicious gravy to serve
with the pot roast.

A slit through the bag will prevent an explosion in your oven.

enjoy cooking and wants to make it as easy as possible for them to get a
home cooked meal on the table without too many steps and ingredients.

Put the squeezed lemons and orange skins into the cavity of the chicken.
Put chicken in a baking pan with olive oil.
Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until there is no pink when cutting into the leg of the chicken.
