One of our favorite places to be is in the kitchen. We love to bake and cook and it all stemmed from our mom's passion of cooking. She would find a recipe that she loved, and then make it all year long. We used to say, "That was the year of the cheesecakes" or "That was the year of cinnamon rolls." Some of our fondest memories revolve around cooking together in the kitchen. We love to get together as family and contribute our best recipes for the meal. And we are constantly calling each other saying, "You've got to try this recipe!" We'd like to share our favorite recipes with you. So, happy cooking, happy baking, happy eating, and then happy exercising afterwards to burn those calories!

Breakfast Casserole


(Insert Jaimee's intro)

Breakfast Casserole

INGREDIENTS:

- 1/2 to 2/3 cup butter

- 1 bag (30 oz.) shredded hash browns, frozen

- 2 cups grated cheddar cheese

- 2 cups grated swiss cheese

- 2 cups crumpled bacon or ham chunks

- 1 cup milk

- 10 eggs

- 1 tsp. salt

- 1/2 tsp. pepper


DIRECTIONS:

Melt butter in a 9x13 pan in a 400 degree oven. Add hashbrowns and mix a bit. Cook for 20 minutes. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top of potatoes. Then sprinkle meat on top of that. Then sprinkle swiss cheese on top. In a mixing bowl, mix eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Pour over hashbrown mixture.

(If making the night before, then at this point, cover with foil and put in refrigerator. When ready to bake, continue on with the next step. Since it has been chilled, you'll need to add 5-10 minutes to the baking time).

Cook at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes covered with foil. Then uncover and cook about 20-30 minutes more until knife inserted comes out clean. Serve.
