BLUE GLASS CASSEROLE DISH RECIPES

Steps:

• French Toast Casserole: Spray 9 X 13-inch dish with Pam. Cut or tear bread into cubes and arrange in the bottom of dish.
• Cut up cream cheese into 1-inch cubes. Drop the cream cheese cubes over the top of the bread. Sprinkle 1 cup blueberries over the top.
• In mixing bowl, combine 12 eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/3 cup maple syrup. Pour this mixture, a little at a time until the bread soaks up the milk but not soggy. You don't want it to be soggy before you bake it. If it's soggy before you bake it, it will be soggy after you bake it. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
• Blueberry Sauce: You can make this ahead of time and refrigerate, then warm up before serving. Stir together 1 cup sugar and 2 Tbsp corn starch in a medium saucepan. Add 1 cup water and stir until smooth so corn starch won't be clumpy. Heat to boiling and stir 2-3 minutes until thickened.
• Add 1 cup blueberries. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until blueberries start to burst. Don't let them all burst. I like some of the blueberries whole.
• Turn heat off the blueberry sauce and stir in 1 Tbsp butter. Store in plastic or glass container and refrigerate until ready to use.
• The next morning preheat oven to 350 degrees. Take the casserole out of the refrigerator. Place covered casserole in the pre-heated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
• Then uncover and bake for another 25-30 minutes or until the top is a golden brown and the center is set.
• While the casserole is baking, you can heat up the blueberry sauce on top of the oven or microwave until warm. Serve over top of casserole.
• Prep time: 30 min to put everything together 8-24 hours - refrigerate several hours or overnight until bread is soaked through with egg, milk mixture. Cook time: 1 hour
• Alternate Sauce, I call it cheating. Take jam or preserves, whatever flavor of fruit you are using to make this. Put preserves in a small saucepan. Add 1 Tbsp corn starch. Mix until smooth. Add additional fruit if desired. Warm in a saucepan until smooth and thickened. Serve over the french toast, ice cream or anything else you can think of.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef and onion over medium-high heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until beef is brown; drain. Stir in salt and pepper. Spread in dish. Sprinkle with 2 cups of the cheese.
• In medium bowl, stir Bisquick™ mix, milk and eggs with whisk until blended. Pour into baking dish. Arrange frozen potatoes on top of casserole.
• Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until potatoes are browned. Sprinkle evenly with remaining 1 cup cheese; bake 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and knife inserted in center comes out clean (165°F in center). Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
• To make ahead: Cook beef mixture; spread in baking dish. Refrigerate uncovered 30 minutes. Sprinkle with 2 cups of the cheese; pour Bisquick™ mixture over top. Cover and refrigerate overnight. To bake: Heat oven to 400°F. Uncover casserole; arrange frozen potatoes on top. Bake and top with cheese as directed.
