Breakfast Casserole

Here is the recipe for the Breakfast Casserole that I brought to Dustin & Marisa's Game Night. It is easy to make (and not too demanding on the food budget)! :-D

Breakfast Casserole
1 8 oz can refrigerated crescent rolls (I use Pillsbury)
1 lb. bulk sausage (Jimmy Dean's mild)
4 eggs, beaten
8 oz. cheese, shredded (1/2 mozzarella & 1/2 monterey jack/colby cheese mix)
3/4 c. 2% milk
salt & pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (400 degrees for a convection oven).
Cook the sausage in a skillet on medium heat until it is browned. Drain well.
Line the bottom of a 9x13 baking pan (I use glass Pyrex) with the crescent roll dough.
Press to seal the rolls together so that the bottom is completely covered.
Sprinkle the dough with sausage and cheese.
Combine beaten eggs, milk, salt and pepper and pour over the sausage/cheese layer.
Grind a small amount of fresh pepper over the top of the casserole.
Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes until top is golden brown with browned spots.
Cut into squares and serve while hot/warm.
Enjoy the deliciousness!

I LOVE to pass along recipes given to us by inspirational homemakers! Pat McIntyre was a wonderful, godly lady, dedicated to being a housewife, gardener, and cook. When I was a young girl, we used to drive our VW bus down from Chattanooga to Dalton, GA to fellowship with her family and several others. Great memories!

Aunt Rosie's Country Biscuits

This is my family's FAVORITE biscuit! Rose Touart is my Mom's longest and best friend, one of the most inspirational homemakers and classy southern ladies that I know!

Country Biscuits

2 sticks butter (1 c)
almost 4 c. self-rising flour
1 1/2 c. buttermilk + 1/2 c. water OR 2 c. 2+% milk
2 T. oil (canola or vegetable)

Preheat oven to 450 (425 in a convection oven).
Pour oil into a  9x13 pan (metal or glass); place in oven to pre-heat for a few minutes.
Cut butter into flour coarsely, using pastry cutter.
Add liquid, working dough lightly with the hands or fork.
Pull heated pan out of oven.
Coat hands in flour to form large palm-sized biscuits.
Place biscuits into hot pan about 1/2-1 inch apart.
Put a deep thumb print into the center of each biscuit (this is Aunt Rosie's signature mark!)
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned.

Yum, yum YUM!  Make sure you have plenty of butter, jam and honey! ;-D
