COWBOY BREAKFAST BAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Spray bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray or grease with shortening. In medium bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. In small bowl, stir together milk, oil and egg. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Spread batter in pan. Bake 10 to 13 minutes or until light golden brown.
• Meanwhile, in 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook sausage, bell pepper and onion over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sausage is no longer pink; drain. Remove sausage from skillet; keep warm.
• In medium bowl, beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper with fork or wire whisk until well mixed.
• In same skillet, heat butter over medium heat just until butter begins to sizzle. Pour egg mixture into skillet. As mixture begins to set at bottom and side, gently lift cooked portions with spatula so that thin, uncooked portion can flow to bottom. Avoid constant stirring. Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until eggs are thickened throughout but still moist.
• Arrange eggs over hot crust; top with sausage mixture. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve with salsa.

COWBOY BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Line a 9x13 greased pan with 8 slices of bread and top with half of the cheese.
• Sprinkle meat over cheese. You could also use any other type of meat you prefer. Turkey bacon cooked and crumbled is good too!
• Mix eggs, milk or sour cream or yogurt, ground mustard, and salt and pepper in a bowl until well blended and pour over cheese.
• Top with the rest of the cheese and 8 more slices of bread, pressing down so the egg bubbles up and moistens it a little.
• Spray top of bread with butter flavored cooking spray or spread with a little butter covering the whole surface of the bread.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight. Bake at 350 F for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the middle of casserole looks cooked. Knife inserted in middle will come out with melted cheese but not with 'wet' egg when done.
• Note: Like I said I made this recipe up for my meat and taters cowboy but you can add mushrooms, onions, green pepper etc. if desired. Just throw it into the meat layer.
