Yes, I have posted it before, but it seems like a simple. economical way to stretch what may be a tight budget, especially right now.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also included a second recipe for a Denver Egg Casserole from Spend With Pennies, for those who like something a little more hearty in this wonky weather we&#8217;re having: warm and sunny one day, cloudy and snowing the next.\u00a0 Remember to include those breakfast meats like ham and bacon, and hash browns are always welcome with something like this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Baked Egg Casserole<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1 cup of shredded cheese \u2013 cheddar is suggested, but choosing cheese is a personal thing<\/p>\n<p>6 beaten eggs<\/p>\n<p>2 green onions, chopped<\/p>\n<p>3 tablespoons milk (whole milk is creamier than 2%)<\/p>\n<p>6 slices of bacon, diced<\/p>\n<p>\u00bd teaspoon of minced garlic (less if you don\u2019t like garlic, or Mrs. Dash Garlic-Herb is good for this, too)<\/p>\n<p>Salt and pepper to taste (you can substitute Mrs. Dash here, as noted)<\/p>\n<p>2 slices of bread, cubed<\/p>\n<p>1\/3 red bell pepper, diced\u00a0 (I\u2019d make this an option)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Instructions<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to <strong>350F<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Stir the cheese, eggs, milk, bacon, onion, chopped pepper, and seasonings together in a bowl. Mix them thoroughly.<\/p>\n<p>Pour into a 9&#8243; x 13&#8243; prepared baking dish. (\u201cPrepared\u201d means lined with foil or greased with butter to keep it from sticking. Your choice.)<\/p>\n<p>Bake in the preheated oven until the eggs are set, 20 to 25 minutes. You might want to put the baking dish on a cookie sheet to keep spills from messing up your nice, clean oven.<\/p>\n<p>Let it sit on the stovetop for a few minutes before you cut it into portions.\u00a0 Add toast, bacon, juice, tea or coffee, and jams and jellies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Next is the Denver Egg casserole, below, from Spend With Pennies <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spendwithpennies.com\/denver-egg-casserole\/\">https:\/\/www.spendwithpennies.com\/denver-egg-casserole\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The recipe is as follows:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wprm-recipe-name wprm-block-text-bold\">Denver Egg Casserole<\/h3>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-information\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-times-container wprm-recipe-details-container wprm-recipe-details-container-separate wprm-block-text-normal\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-time-container wprm-recipe-total-time-container wprm-recipe-block-container wprm-recipe-block-container-separate wprm-block-text-normal\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-servings wprm-recipe-details wprm-recipe-servings-140162 wprm-recipe-servings-adjustable-disabled wprm-block-text-normal\" data-recipe=\"140162\" aria-label=\"Adjust recipe servings\">6<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wprm-recipe-servings-unit wprm-recipe-details-unit wprm-block-text-normal\">servings<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-author-container wprm-recipe-block-container wprm-recipe-block-container-separate wprm-block-text-normal\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-details-label wprm-block-text-normal wprm-recipe-author-label\">AUTHOR: <\/span><span class=\"wprm-recipe-details wprm-recipe-author wprm-block-text-normal\">Holly Nilsson, Spend With Pennies<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-tag-container wprm-recipe-cuisine-container wprm-recipe-block-container wprm-recipe-block-container-separate wprm-block-text-normal\">Tender onions, green peppers, ham, and cheddar cheese are folded into a fluffy eggs, making for the low carb breakfast you didn\u2019t know you needed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-buttons\"><strong>Ingredients<\/strong>:<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredients-container wprm-block-text-normal\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-group\">\n<ul class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredients\">\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">9<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">large eggs<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">1\/2<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-unit\">cup<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">heavy cream<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">1\/3<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-unit\">cup<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">white onion<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-notes wprm-recipe-ingredient-notes-normal\">finely diced<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">1<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-unit\">tablespoon<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">butter<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">1<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-unit\">cup<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">cheddar cheese<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-notes wprm-recipe-ingredient-notes-normal\">shredded<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">1 1\/3<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-unit\">cups<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">ham<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-notes wprm-recipe-ingredient-notes-normal\">diced<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">1\/2<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-unit\">cup<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">green pepper<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-notes wprm-recipe-ingredient-notes-normal\">or red<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">salt &amp; black pepper to taste<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instructions-container wprm-block-text-normal\">\n<h4 class=\"wprm-recipe-header wprm-recipe-instructions-header wprm-block-text-bold\">Instructions:<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instructions-container wprm-block-text-normal\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-group\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul class=\"wprm-recipe-instructions\">\n<li>Preheat the oven to 400F.<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-140162-step-0-1\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\">Cook onion in butter over medium heat until softened.
