Well, let me tell ya about this here breakfast thing, this… uh… “breakfast casserole with cream cheese,” they call it. Sounds fancy, but it ain’t nothin’ but good eatin’, ya know? Easy peasy, even for an old gal like me.
First off, them fancy folks, they talk about “busy mornings.” Humph, every mornin’s busy when you got chickens to feed and chores to do! But this here casserole, it’s a real time-saver, I tell ya. You can whip it up the night before, stick it in that there icebox thingy – the re-fri-ger-a-tor, yeah that’s it – and then just pop it in the oven when you’re ready. No fuss, no muss.
Now, what goes in it? Eggs, of course. Gotta have eggs. And cheese! Lots of cheese. They say cream cheese, and that’s good, makes it all creamy and gooey. But you can use whatever cheese you got on hand, ya know? Cheddar, Colby, even that there pepper jack if you like a little kick. Don’t be shy, throw it all in!
- Eggs
- Lots of cheese (cream cheese is good, but any kind works)
- Maybe some sausage or bacon, if you got it
- Some folks put in veggies too, like onions and peppers. Healthy stuff, I guess.
Speaking of sausage, if you got some of that laying around, chop it up and throw it in! Or bacon, bacon is always good. Makes it hearty, you know? Fills ya up good. Some folks, they like to put in veggies too. Onions, peppers, all that green stuff. I ain’t much for greens myself, but if you like ‘em, go ahead and toss ‘em in. It’s your casserole, you make it how you want!
Now, how you make it is simple. You just scramble up them eggs in a big bowl, add in the cheese, the sausage or bacon, and them veggies if you’re using them. Mix it all up good, then pour it into a dish. A casserole dish, they call it. Fancy name for a bakin’ pan, if you ask me. Then, you cover it up with somethin’ – plastic wrap or that there shiny paper stuff, aluminum foil, yeah that’s the ticket – and stick it in the icebox. Let it sit there for a while, at least 30 minutes, they say. But I like to make it the night before, so it’s all ready to go in the mornin’.
And listen here, if you’re in a hurry, you can even microwave it. Just put a bit in a bowl and heat it up. Not as good as the oven, but it’ll do in a pinch. It’s perfect for those “busy mornings,” like them city folks are always talkin’ about. You can have a hot breakfast ready to go, and you ain’t gotta be slavin’ over a hot stove.
And if you gotta take this here breakfast casserole somewhere, like to a church potluck or somethin’, you can keep it warm. Just get yourself one of them cooler things, you know, the kind you put drinks in. Put a towel in the bottom, put the casserole on top, and then put another towel on top of that. Keeps it nice and warm, I tell ya. Saves you from havin’ to eat cold food, and nobody wants that.
This here breakfast casserole with cream cheese, it ain’t nothin’ fancy. It’s just good, plain food. It’s easy to make, it fills ya up, and it tastes good. And that’s all that matters, right? You ain’t gotta be no fancy chef to make this. Just a few simple ingredients, a little bit of time, and you got yourself a breakfast that’ll keep ya goin’ all mornin’ long. So go on, give it a try. You won’t be disappointed. And don’t worry if it ain’t perfect. Just like life, it’s the imperfections that make it interesting, ya know?
Now, some folks say you gotta let it sit overnight to make it a real casserole. Says it makes it look and taste better. Maybe so, maybe not. I ain’t never noticed much of a difference. But if you got the time, go ahead and let it sit. Can’t hurt nothin’. And if you don’t, well, it’ll still be good eatin’. Don’t you worry about that.
So, that’s it. That’s all there is to it. A simple breakfast casserole with cream cheese. Good for busy folks, good for lazy folks, good for anyone who likes a good, hearty breakfast. And ain’t that just about everyone? Now go on and make yourself one. And don’t forget the coffee! A good breakfast ain’t complete without a hot cup of coffee, ya know? That’s just common sense.
