I made a great brunch casserole. Which would have been great, if I were having a brunch. But today it was just my husband and I, so we had a quite a lot leftovers... but it was good.
Next time, I'm inviting my friends for a nice brunch.
In fact.....maybe two Sundays from now... a brunch get-together! And this will be at the top of my list...
Stone Masterpiece
(okay, so yes, I'm using my own last name. the original recipe was McGill Masterpiece, but...it's mine now)
What you need:
mild pork sausage
spicy pork sausage
1 med. onion
rice cereal
cooked white rice
shredded cheddar cheese
eggs
cream of celery soup
milk
butter
First, you must brown the sausage in a very large skillet.
You can do the chopped onion at the same time.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the cooked rice and 5 cups of the rice cereal (any brand will do, but I like Snap, Crackle and Pop)
Spread the mixture in the bottom of a 13x9 casserole (notice that I buttered 3 casserole dishes before finding just the right one. I must LOVE to do dishes, as I seem to have a lot of them when I am done cooking)
Then put the sausage and onions on top of rice stuff.
Get the cheese ready
Grate the cheese
Sprinkle the cheese over the casserole mixture
Beat the eggs, soup and milk together.
Pour over the casserole
(press down lightly with a spoon)
Get the rest of the Rice Krispies/cereal and mix with some softened butter, then sprinkle over the casserole.
Looks good!!
Into the oven for 55 minutes.
Yummy!!
let sit for a few minutes while you get the table ready.
cut into squares
serve on a plate with fresh fruit
and go enjoy!

wow... this is sooo interesting, I am going to have to try it. Neato! Thanks for sharing :)
yes, it was interesting. :~)
It was actually very good, but my husband took a bite and said, 'oh, there something crunchy in here'. He liked it, but wasn't prepared for the rice krispies on the bottom.
