COWBOY BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• In a large skillet, cook slices of bacon until crispy. Remove cooked bacon from pan, drain excess grease on paper towels and cool before crumbling. Set crumbled bacon aside.

• Add water and cover pan.
• Heat vegetable mixture for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until potatoes are soft and tender.
• Remove from heat and add drained black beans, green onion, cooked bacon and all of the spices. Mix well.
• In a separate mixing bowl, combine eggs and half and half. Whisk together well.
• Fold in half of each of the shredded cheese and pour entire mixture over the vegetables in the skillet.
• Use a spatula to evenly distribute the eggs and sprinkle top with remaining shredded cheese.
• Bake cowboy breakfast casserole for 30 minutes or until center is set.

COWBOY BREAKFAST CASSEROLE WITH SAUSAGE AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Toast bread on a rimmed baking sheet until dry, 8-10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add sausage and cook, breaking into pieces with a spatula, until browned, about 7 minutes.
• Butter a 3-quart baking dish. Arrange 6 bread slices in dish in one layer, covering bottom of pan completely and cutting slices to fit if needed. Tear remaining slice into smaller pieces to fill in any gaps.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer sausage to baking dish, scattering over bread.
• Heat skillet over medium and add white and pale green scallion parts. Cook, stirring, until softened and just starting to take on color, about 3 minutes. Add spinach, stir to combine, and cook until warmed through, 1-2 minutes more. Top sausage with spinach mixture, then top spinach mixture with cheese.
• Whisk eggs, milk, yogurt, mustard powder, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Gently pour over casserole. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
• Uncover dish and transfer to a cold oven. Heat oven to 375°F and bake casserole until eggs are puffed and cheese is browned, about 40 minutes.
• Let casserole cool several minutes. Top with dark green scallion parts.
• Do Ahead
• Casserole can be assembled 1 day ahead. Tightly cover and chill.

COWBOY BREAKFAST

Steps:

• Brown meat in large pot over medium heat.
• Add frozen hash browns and stir occasionally, until potatoes are cooked (they will not turn brown).
• Break eggs into bowl and stir with fork to mix well.
• Add eggs to meat and hash brown mixture and stir until eggs are done. (Continuous stirring will also help keep everything from sticking to the bottom of the pot).
• Sprinkle shredded cheese over the mixture if desired and stir in until it melts.
• Serve hot.

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.

COWBOY CHRISTMAS BREAKFAST

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F. Generously butter bottom and sides of a 13- by 9-inch baking dish.
• Cook sausage in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat, stirring frequently and breaking up any large lumps with a fork, until browned, about 10 minutes. Pour off fat from skillet, then cool sausage to room temperature.
• Cut half of loaf into 1-inch-thick slices and reserve remaining half for another use. Pulse butter and garlic in a food processor until smooth. Spread a thin layer of garlic butter on both sides of each bread slice, arranging bread in 1 layer in bottom of baking dish. Sprinkle sausage on top.
• Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until frothy, then whisk in scallions and half of cheese. Pour egg mixture over sausage (bread will float to the top), pushing down on bread with a spatula to help it absorb liquid. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Bake, covered with a large sheet of buttered foil (buttered side down), 30 minutes, then carefully remove foil and bake until top is slightly puffed and eggs are cooked through in center, about 20 minutes more.
• Let stand 10 minutes, then cut into 12 squares.
