Breakfast Sandwiches

The other day I stumbled on this fabulous website called the Food Gawker. Ya'll this site is pretty incredible! I found several recipes that I have used since and this one was so simple and a definite pleaser so I had to post about it. We are normally in a rush in the mornings, I mean who isn't these days? There's not a ton of easy grab n' go food that will keep you full until lunch and that is also somewhat healthy. Well I saw these breakfast sandwiches and knew I had to try them. I made them last Monday night and they smelled so good we almost had them for dinner. Here's the recipe : Breakfast Sandwiches. I've never made eggs in the oven or in muffin pans for that matter so this was a first. I wasn't too sure how they would turn out, but I was pretty happy with the end result!

eggs

turkey bacon (also used sausage patties)

 

 english muffins (you can use biscuits too)

 

 throw bacon on muffin

 

 add egg with cheese*

 

 wrap sandwich up with saran wrap

 

 sausage and bacon english muffins

   

12 breakfast sandwiches!

*FYI: I sliced the eggs in half because they were about half the size of the english muffin. They didn't fit too nicely, so I just went ahead and sliced them so they would fit a little better on the muffin. You could also use miniture bagels and the eggs would probably be perfect. I also did the same with the mini sausage patties. They were pre-cooked so that made it much easier.

I put 6 in the fridge and the other 6 in the freezer. I made them last Monday night and we still have about 4 or 5 left! It's been so easy to just grab them in the mornings and either nuke them before we leave for work or zap them in the microwave when we get in the office. So perfect and so delicious!! I got 2 BIG thumbs up from the Mr. on these! They didn't take more than 30 minutes to make and assemble. Super easy and you have breakfast for 12 days! Enjoy ladies :)

First of all I want to say a HUGE thank you to all of you amazing bloggies out there who stopped by my sister's blog and made her feel so welcome! She was on cloud 9 :)

Ok, now onto the enchilada recipe I promised!

Enchiladas

Ingredients:
Olive Oil - enough to saute onion in skillet
1 md onion
1 pound of either ground beef, chicken, or turkey
1 packet taco seasoning mix
1 can mexi-corn or plain corn
1 can diced green chilies
2 cans of red enchilada sauce
10-12 tortillas
1 pkg shredded jack cheese

• Saute onion in olive oil in a skillet. You don't have to use the whole onion.
• Add your meat to skillet and cook.
• Add the taco seasoning packet to onion/meat mix.
• Next add mexi-corn and diced green chilies to the mix.
• Add 1 can of red enchilada sauce to that mixture.
• Open the second can of enchilada sauce and put 1/2 in a pie pan to dip the tortillas in and save the rest to pour over the top of the enchiladas once they are rolled and in the pan. Be sure to put a little sauce in the bottom of the 13x9 pan before adding the enchiladas.
• Dip each tortilla in the enchilada sauce, fill your enchiladas with the meat mixture and add jack cheese and roll.
• Place the rolled enchiladas cheese side down in a 13X9 pan.
• Once the pan is filled, pour remaining red sauce over the enchiladas
• Bake with foil on top for 20-25 min at 350 degrees.
• When done, remove foil and sprinkle jack cheese over top and put back in the oven to melt.

You can add more/less ingredients to your enchiladas. I have a bit of a picky husband who despises onions and can find even the most hidden diced onion, so I was only able to add onions to the top of my enchiladas after baking. Like I said, they are super easy to make and even more delicious!

What's on tap for this weeks menu?
Tonight: Summer Chicken Burgers - I love avocado on my chicken sandwiches! And it's perfect weather for grilling.
Cinco De Mayo: Ground turkey tostadas, homemade salsa, guacamole, and margaritas! Since we don't have a blender, I am improvising. They are still frozen, but it's more like a slush. Fine with me :)
Wednesday: BarBQ chicken on the grill, baked beans, fruit for me, chips for Mr.
Thursday: Hot dogs with fixins'- easy peasy!
Friday: Leftovers or out to eat

I hope everyone is having a fabulous Monday! I still need to do a recap of our exciting weekend. We went to a Dave Matthews Band concert on Friday night and then Saturday we went to an ATM baseball game. So much fun! It was just me and Beau the whole weekend. Perfect! My pics are still trapped in my camera, but that will change this evening :)
