From Denny: Going to the beach for Labor Day? Company coming and you are wondering what is easy to cook up for a hungry crowd? Here are a couple of easy recipes for breakfast any time of the day. They are also the kind of flexible recipes that you can add some of your favorite ingredients or seasonings to your taste.
Texas Hash is so simple for breakfast, lunch or a quick dinner. It's a great recipe for using up pre-cooked rice. This recipe calls for cooking the rice ahead of time. If you are going to the beach you could easily pre-cook the rice, package it up to make the dish later so it would not take long to complete the cooking. This Texas Hash is made with ground beef instead of the traditional leftover roast beef or chuck roast which is also quite tasty.
Just brown up the ground beef - how about ground sirloin for extra awesome flavor? - add a chopped onion to saute. This recipe calls for browning the onion which I'm no fan of because it tends to give off a really strong burned taste to the dish. It's better to first brown the meat, turn down the heat and then slower saute the onion until soft and sweet.
Add the can of diced tomato - or take the time to add diced fresh beefsteak tomato. Season with a packet of taco seasoning. Of course, I would add extra garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin and some dried ginger to taste. We like a lot of spices in this part of the South. Serve with loads of shredded cheddar cheese or your favorite cheese like maybe some Parmesan or Romano or Asiago or Monterey Jack or even fresh Mexican cheese.
The Sausage and Egg Casserole is a safe bet for company visits when everyone is a bit tired from the trip. You can make this ahead of their arrival and bake the next morning. How simple and effortless is that? ...
