FARMER'S CASSEROLE



Farmer's Casserole image

This wonderful casserole is the best 'breakfast casserole' I have ever eaten. It could easily be served at any time of day. I first ate it at a Wedding Shower and could hardly wait for the bride's mother to get the recipe for me from the Aunt who lived in another state. I am posting the recipe exactly as I received it...however I would personally increase the salt to 1 teaspoon instead of the 1/4th teaspoon since I remember adding salt when I ate it before.

This is a great use for the leftover Easter ham. You can prepare it the night before, or if you're last minute like me it still works like a charm to throw it all together at once. I didn't have ham, but Jimmy Dean sausage was wonderful (I cooked it first then mixed it in with everything). I think this serves more than 6 people, but I must confess I couldn't eat just one scoop.

FARMER'S BREAKFAST CASSEROLE



Farmer's Breakfast Casserole image

I try to send the girls out the door with a good breakfast in the morning and this can be altered to be lower in fat and cholesterol by the use of skimmed evaporated milk and egg beaters. Results still excellent! I use turkey bacon instead of ham, although it is great with ham too. Pat Ensenbach submitted this recipe for the St. John's Lutheran Church and Preschool Cookbook, Yankton South Dakota. Serving size indicates 8-10 servings but that is if you cut it evenly before serving. If people help themselves, you may have more or less servings depending on how much they take! Please note there is a refridgeration time (several hours to overnight)

FARMER'S BRUNCH CASSEROLE



Farmer's Brunch Casserole image

I have been making this recipe for about 12 years. I used to make it for brunch but now I serve it for dinner as well. It is loved by all we have served it too. It's great to serve with fresh fruits and "Recipe#126982". If using frozen, defrost first. I have used other cheeses but I find this Monterey Pepper Jack (w/ jalapenos) to work best., cheddar is too bland. NOTE & UPDATE 8/08: I grated red potatoes and the casserole turned out too wet and slimy. UGH. I would suggest purchasing the "Simply Potatoes" or using a potato that bakes up drier. Hope this makes sense.
