A TASTY CASSEROLE

Who doesn’t like an easy to prepare yummy casserole.  I came across this recipe from Cooks.com awhile back and it has quickly become my favorite go-to dish.  Of course, as I always do, I modified the recipe to fit the needs and taste of my family.  It is called a “Breakfast Casserole” but it very appropriate for any meal.

½ cup melted butter

2 cups (a bit more or less according to your taste) shredded Cheddar cheese

1 lb. pork sausage OR you could shredded ham OR a mixture of sausage and ham

1- 1 ½ cups milkRead More »
