We’ve been trying several recipes from our newly acquired (soon to be favorite) cookbook: 365 Dinner Menus by Penny Stone pictured above. It dawned on me tonight that we often have many of the same items in our freezers and panties pantries due to the amazing deals we score with coupons. So I’ve decided to sporadically post recipes from our weekly meal plans that you’d also likely have ingredients for in your home. I hope you enjoy this and find it helpful!
This one is the May 15th recipe titled: Eggs for Dinner Casserole
8 eggs beaten
1 cup skim milk
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 1/2 cups (sausage, bacon, or canadian bacon)
2 tablespoons chives
1 tablespoon minced onion
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 tbsp butter
3 cups grated potatoes or thawed hashbrowns
Melt butter in skillet and saute minced onion and chives. Stir in bacon/sausage and cook for 5 minutes. In a bowlcombine, eggs, milk, salt, pepper, potatoes, and 1 cup cheese. Add the bacon mixture and stir well. Pour into a 13X9 inch baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining cheese and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Delicious comfort food!
I purchased the above ingredients at a great price with coupons (most likely no longer available) but if you buy the deals as I post them you’ll have these ingredients in your stockpile/freezer as well!

Looks great, you may also wish to have a what would you make with these ingredients semi blog idea post!
I have to say…I’ve been reading your blog for a while now and you are AWESOME. However, tonight, you gave me the hardest laugh that I have laughed in a long, long, long time. It did my heart good. I have to thank you.
In your blog above you said, “It dawned on me tonight that we often have many of the same items in our freezers and panties due to the amazing deals we score with coupons.”
I don’t know what you keep in your freezer, but it seems to be that it would be uncomfortable to also keep it in your panties. I think you maybe meant pantries.
Once again, thank you for giving me the biggest belly laugh in a long time.
Also, I’ll be using that recipe…
OH MY GOODNESS, that is SOOOOOOO funny. My husband and I had a good belly laugh too, thanks for pointing that out!

and since alot of ppl travel this time of year, and if you are like me…well they are staying at my house…that dish would be great for a group!!
Panties, LOL!!!
Thanks for the laugh and easy peasy recipe!
looks really tasty.
Made this for lunch today…loved it! Thank you so much for sharing.
We do not eat pork, but I have found that if you cook ground beef with a lot of sage, it tastes almost the same as sausage. It is great in this meal. We have this for breakfast a lot when my hubby is home. Thanks Julia!
Yum. I love breakfast for dinner. We are having crockpot mu shu chicken from Family Circle mag/website! Yummy.
Mmm, sounds good!
This reminds me of our recipe for tator tot Breakfast casserole. Very very similar.
