Post breakfast recipes here.

I'll start it off~

Chewy Oatmeal Bars

5 cups dry oats (either regular or quick)
2 1/2 cups dried milk powder
1 cup (packed) brown sugar
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup honey
4 eggs, beaten
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup raisins
2 t. cinnamon (or more, if you prefer)

Preheat oven to 350. Grease either a 9"X13" pan (for thick bars) or 11"X14" baking sheet (for thin bars).

Put all ingredients into a big bowl. Mix well (use your hands, if necessary). Dump into prepared pan and press, evenly and firmly, into pan. Bake 25-35 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Cool. Cut into 16 bars or squares.

Variations: You can add other ingredients, too. The raisins can be omitted, as can the nuts and cinnamon. You can add up to 4 cups of alternative ingredients (2 cups, if you leave the raisins and nuts) such as chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, sunflower seeds, dried fruits, sesame seeds, etc. (whatever sounds good to you). In addition, you can add 1/2 cup of peanut butter, without making any other changes.

Breakfast Casserole
(Serves 12)

*Very versatile recipe that can be customized to meet your particular taste.

1 lb ground pork breakfast sausage (can use ham or bacon too)
Dozen eggs
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of 'whatever' soup (I've used cream of chicken, celery & mushroom)
1 (10.75 ounce) can milk
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (Personal Preference)
1 (32 ounce) package frozen Potatoes (I've used Tater Tots, Hashbrowns-diced potatoes & patties, etc.)
1/2 cup onion (to taste)
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Salt & Pepper (to taste)
Season to taste






Cook breakfast meat, drain & set aside.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Place the frozen potatoes on the bottom of the 9x13 pan.

In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, condensed cream of 'whatever' soup, and milk. Stir in the sausage, mushrooms, onions and seasonings and pour mixture over the frozen potato rounds.

Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese, and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Casserole is done when eggs don't 'jiggle' in the center.

**I've added 1/2 C. chopped bell pepper and canned green chilies to the egg mixture. Our spices that we use is salt, pepper, oregano, garlic powder & seasoning salt. If I'm making it a bit spicy, I will top with pepper jack cheese and add some dried pepper flakes to the egg mixture.
