Easy Quiche!


This takes about 20 minutes prep time and about an hour cook time depending on your oven.

What you will need:
12 Eggs
1 Pint Heavy Whipping Cream
1 Package of Bacon
1 Large Onion
2 Pie Crusts (or dough for 2 crusts)
1/4 lb of each: Provolone, Swiss and Mozzarella, sliced or shredded
1 Can of Mushrooms (optional)
2 Cups of any vegetable of your choice (optional)
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

This is an easy quiche recipe that anyone can make. It was one of the first dishes I learned to make when I moved out on my own so many years ago. I used 2, 8 inch pie plates. You can use any dough recipe you want, any 2 roll out pre-made pie crusts or frozen pie crusts already in the pie tins.

Chop your onion and bacon. Fry them together until bacon is getting brown.

In a mixing bowl, mix together the heavy whipping cream and 12 eggs using a whisk or fork until well blended.


Now you're going to layer your pies. First I put some cheese on the bottom. You can layer the cheese in any order. Then I put some of the bacon and onion mixture, mushrooms, cheese, egg mixture, bacon and onions, cheese, egg mixture and so on. I usually get 2 layers of the bacon and onions in one pie shell and I do this until the pie shell is full.

Place on the center rack of a preheated 350 degree oven, side by side. You can place a sheet of foil or a cookie sheet under the pies or on the next rack down to catch anything that boils over. Bake for an hour and then check with a toothpick to see if its done. If the toothpick comes out clean then its done, if it comes out and it looks like liquid is on it or chunky bits of liquid egg, place back in the oven for another 15 minutes. Check again with toothpick. Repeat every 15 minutes until fully cooked but should only take 1-1 1/4 hours (approximate)

Kitchen Tip!


Everyone hates the smell that onions can leave behind in your fridge. An easy way to keep the odor from permeating everything is to take a glass jar (Mayonnaise jar, canning jar), put your onion half, sliced onion or chopped onion into the jar and then cover with cold water. The jar must be glass and it has to have a tight fitting lid. This keeps the odor from getting into everything and the water keeps the onion fresh longer!

Quick and easy ground beef stroganoff with potatoes



OK, this is a quick and easy way to make stroganoff when you've had a long day but want to have a real meal.

You're going to need:

2-3 lbs of ground beef
1 bunch of green onions
1 pkg of bacon (12-16 ounces)
1 24ounce container of sour cream
Mashed potatoes, either homemade or out of the box, whichever you like!

Ok, the bacon is in the package in like a block of bacon. First make cuts about every 1/2 inch so that the result is all the slices are now chopped. Fry the bacon until golden brown and slightly crispy.


While the bacon is frying go ahead and finely chop your green onions. When the bacon is done cooking, remove it to a plate with a couple paper towels so the grease drains but dont dump out your bacon grease.

Put your hamburger into the bacon grease and cook until done. Then strain your grease out of the meat and let it brown some.


Once its brown, put the onions, bacon and sour cream into the ground beef and mix well.




Serve on top of your mashed potatoes and enjoy!
