Bacon & Egg Casserole

Rating: 4 stars

Cost: $

Comments: I was looking for a simple breakfast casserole that would take little prep time when my inlaws came in town. This recipe was perfect as I was able to prepare it the night before and then just stick it in the oven for an hour in the morning. My husband and inlaws really loved this dish, but I wasn't super crazy about the texture... but then again, I'm not a big fan of eggs so that may have had something to do with the mixed reviews. Overall I will make this dish again since it was so easy, convenient, and a hit with the family.

Ingredients:
1 lb. bacon (I used turkey bacon and only had 12oz.)
6 eggs
2 cups milk (I used skim)
1 tsp mustard powder (I didn't have this so I used 1 tbsp prepared mustard)
1 tsp salt (I only used 1/2 tsp)
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
6 slices bread

Directions:
Grease a 9x13 glass baking dish and set aside.
Fry the bacon, drain on paper toweling, cut into 1 inch pieces.
Cube the bread into 3/4 inch pieces and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs.
Add the milk, mustard powder, salt, and blend well.
Stir in the bacon, cheese, and bread cubes.
Stir well to combine.
Pour the mixture into the baking dish, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat oven to 350°F and bake for one hour.

Cheesy Chicken & Bacon

Rating: 3 stars

Cost: less than $15

Comments: I found this recipe online and saved it right away. We LOVE bacon (who doesn't?) so when I saw this I knew I had to try it. I had really high hopes for this recipe and while it was super good it was way too salty for us. I will definitely attempt this again but I think next time I'll use low sodium teriyaki sauce and less bacon (I used turkey bacon this time... maybe next time I'll try regular low sodium bacon).

Ingredients:
2 T olive oil
4-6 chicken breast halves
12 pieces cooked and crumbled bacon (I used turkey bacon)
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
1/2 cup Ranch salad dressing (I used fat free)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:
Put the olive oil into the bottom of the crock pot and spread it around. Lay the chicken on top. In a small bowl combine the teriyaki and ranch dressing. Pour sauce over the chicken. Add shredded cheese and crumbled bacon, make sure to get in between the chicken as well. Cook on low for 4-5 hours.
