2 large eggs

3/4 cup milk

6 to 8 hotdogs

1 tablespoon sugar

4 to 5 slices american cheese

In a bowl mix muffin mixes, eggs, sugar and milk until well combined.

Melt the butter and grease the casserole dish. 

Put 1/3 of the batter in the bottom of the casserole dish.place whole hotdogs in rows 

about 3/4 inch apart.  Go down sides and if you need to cut the hotdogs to fit. 

Now cover with Cheese and then the rest of the batter. 

Bake 30 to 35 minutes until top has browned well and when you put a toothpick 

in the center it comes out clean. Let it cool 5 minutes before cutting. Serve with ketchup 

and the kids will love you! 

(I also served loaded potato chips with this and the recipe is in the book too)

I got the recipe out of a cookbook called

You can get a copy on QVC.

Happy Weekend!

Happy Weekend!

It is so fun to make something different for weekends.

And egg baskets are so easy.

Egg Baskets

1 egg per basket

green onions

mushrooms

hash browns

sliced ham

cheese we used sharp and mozzarella 

milk

salt & pepper

and anything else you want

Spray a muffin pan with Pam and line with 2 slices of ham. This becomes your baskets. I whipped 1 egg for every basket. So you can make as many as you need, thats why there are no amounts. This is so easy. Then you add a spoon of hash browns ( I use frozen right from the freezer), mushrooms, eggs, cheese and onions. Bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve on lettuce just to look fancy!
