Recipes and Weirdness

My Mother-in-Law knows I like to cook and occasionally will ask me for a recipe or my thoughts on how to do something. She recently asked me for recipe for an egg casserole. And of course I was more than happy to answer her request. The recipe was my Mom's recipe that I grew up with but I took certain liberties with the way the recipe was written, deciding it just was not whimsical enough. Thought I would share it here as well.

Sausage Egg Casa... Kasero... Sausage Egg Breakfast Goodness Baked in a Glass Baking Dish

3 Eggs (the chicken kind)
1 Cup milk (the cow kind)
1 Slice of day old bread (doesn’t matter what kind)
1/2 Teaspoon salt (I use the Kosher kind)
1 Cup shredded cheddar cheese (the yellow kind)
1/2 Teaspoon dry mustard (the powdery kind)
1/2 Pound sausage (the pig kind)*

Lube up an 8 x 8 inch glass baking dish with your choice of food grade pan lubricant. Brown the pig, I mean sausage, drain the fat and set aside the cooked meat. Now go out to the hen house grab 3 eggs and bring them back inside. Crack the shells and dump the internal parts of the eggs (that would be the yellow part and the white liquidy part) into a bowl. Beat this up real good. Add the milk that you got from old Bessie earlier in the morning with the salt and dry mustard and then add this to the eggs that you just beat the tarnations out of a few minutes ago and mix it up real good. Now add the yellow cheese, stale bread and the browned pig to yonder egg mixture. Pour all of this into that glass baking dish that you most likely slathered with lard. Get out your plastic wrap and attempt to cover said baking dish. After fighting the plastic wrap for ten or so minutes, give up and just cover it with a piece of the real shiny metal stuff. Stick in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or best left in the cool confines overnight. When you get a hankerin’ to eat it the next morning, preheat your oven oven to 350 degrees and bake it (without the shiny covering on top) for about 45 minutes. Then eat it and enjoy

* I suppose you can use the meat of your choice -- sausage, bacon or ham. But it all comes down to the same animal. Guess if you really wanted you could use all three. Also if this ain’t enough to feed your clan, then just double all the ingredients and bake in a lubed up 13 x9 inch glass baking dish.
