May Recipe Round Up

Happy Memorial Day!!  I hope you have some fun plans to celebrate with family or friends.

I know I say this often, but this month flew by!!  We had a lot of fun stuff on the calendar and I did a lot of cooking.  Can't wait to share my favorites with you.  As always I try to make budget friendly meals that don't require hours in the kitchen that my family will love.

Hope you find a new recipe or two to try for yourself.

We enjoyed a lot of breakfast/brunch type of meals since we all love that.

Breakfast Casserole
I love any variation of breakfast casserole.  It's great right out of the oven and delicious for leftovers all week long.  This one turned out delicious.

1 bag shredded potatoes
1 c sliced, pre cooked ham
1/2 green pepper chopped
1/2 red pepper chopped
1/2 onion chopped
salt and pepper
8 eggs
3 T milk
1 c sharp cheddar

Saute peppers and onions until browned.
Scramble eggs and milk.
Grease 9 x 13 pan.
Dump in thawed potatoes.
Pour egg mixture over the top.
Evenly spread out veggies and ham.
Add salt and pepper.

Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until the eggs are completely set.
Sprinkle cheese on top and let melt.
