BAKED EGGS CASSEROLE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 and PAM a 13x9 deep baking dish.
• In large skillet, brown ground beef.
• In large pot cook pasta to al dente'.
• When beef is cooked, drain and add spaghetti sauce and hot water (I always dump the water in the jar and shake it up to get the last bit of sauce out before adding to the pan).
• Add garlic and veggies and simmer about 10 minutes.
• When pasta is done, drain in a colander and rinse with hot water, let sit temporarily.
• In pasta pot, melt margarine.
• Stir in parmesan cheese, then add pasta back into pan.
• Beat eggs with milk and toss with pasta mixture.
• Press pasta in pan evenly.
• Top with sauce mixture, spreading to the edges.
• Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.
• Top with cheeses and bake additional 15 minutes until cheese starts to melt and brown.
• Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes for easier cutting.
• Cut into squares.
• This makes a lot and freezes well in individual squares for lunches.

Steps:

• Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Place the bread cubes in an even layer in the dish.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and salt. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread in the dish.
• In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, maple syrup or brown sugar and cinnamon. Drizzle over the casserole.
• At this point, you can refrigerate the casserole overnight (covered) and bake in the morning, or let it rest for 20-30 minutes (in the refrigerator) and then bake right away.
• When you are ready to bake the casserole, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Uncover and bake for 10-20 minutes more, until the top is lightly browned and the casserole is set. Serve with fresh fruit and maple syrup, as desired.
