Let's Have Brunch - Egg, Sausage & Cheese Enchiladas

Every now and then I look through my collection of recipes and decide to create something a bit different. In this I have taken a portion from one of my enchilada recipes and added my own touches to come up with a breakfast enchilada. I will tell you that I have not tested this recipe yet, but if it compares to the original recipe for a meat and cheese enchilada it will be great. You can add a little hot sauce when serving if you like extra heat.

Egg, Sausage & Cheese Enchiladas

1 can Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup Pace Picante Sauce
2 teaspoons chili powder
8 ounces ground breakfast sausage (or for heat you can use Andouille, sliced)
8 eggs
1/3 cup water, milk or half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
6 flour tortillas (6"), warmed
1 small tomato, chopped
1 green onion, sliced
hot sauce (optional)

  1. Stir the soup, sour cream, picante sauce and chili powder in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. In a skillet brown the breakfast sausage (or sliced Andouille) - set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, water, salt and pepper with a fork or wire whisk until well mixed.
  4. In a 10-inch skillet, heat the butter over medium heat just until it begins to sizzle and look hot.
  5. Pour egg mixture into skillet. The egg mixture will become firm at the bottom and side very quickly. When this happens, gently lift the cooked portions around the edge with a turner so that the thin, uncooked portion can flow to the bottom. Avoid constant stirring because the eggs will become dry and rubbery rather than light and fluffy.
  6. Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until eggs are thickened throughout but still moist and creamy.
  7. Stir 1 cup of the picante sauce mixture, eggs, sausage, and cheese in a large bowl.
  8. Divide the egg mixture among the tortillas. Roll up the tortillas and place them seam side up in an 11" x 8" shallow baking dish. Pour the remaining picante sauce mixture over the filled tortillas. Cover the baking dish.
  9. Bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes or until the enchiladas are hot and bubbling.
  10. Top with the tomato and onion to serve.

We Do Have Some Control

Image
We have all watched the news media sensationalizing the cost of living today. It seems as if they are trying to create havoc and fear. Although the price of the things we purchase have risen, the truth is we do have some control over how it effects our budget. We need to remember that the pandemic played a large role in the exorbitant increases we have seen on everyday items. The shortages that were created during this time allowed companies to charge much higher prices for what little was produced compared to normal manufacturing quantities. Plus, those who were out purchasing more than they needed and hoarding it also contributed to higher prices. If we listen to all the gloom and doom on our evening news, we will believe there is nothing we can do to ease the strain on our daily cost of living. The truth is, we do have some control on how we spend our money and how to save on everyday items. First of all, I am no different than millions of other people. There have been many times in

The Most Disappointing Halloween Ever

Image
We just experienced our most disappointing Halloween in the 15 years we have been in our home. We received zero trick-or-treaters. Not one moment of joy opening the door to see little ones in costumes as their cute little voices called out "trick-or-treat"! As far back as I can remember Halloween has been a holiday that was fun for children. How could they not enjoy dreaming up a costume and going out to trick or treat for candy. Growing up there were six of us and we spent weeks deciding what we wanted to be and how to come up with the costume. Of course, back then we used what was available in the house to create our vision, and maybe we would get a purchased plastic mask. Then on Halloween night our parents took us out to go from house to house. We would run up to the door, knock, and when it was opened, we would all yell out, "trick or treat!", then watch as the treat was deposited into our bag or bucket. After saying thank you we moved on to the next house and

These Hands

Image
These hands once young and smooth, now carry the scars of time. Some days I gaze upon them, and wonder whose they are. Once the hands of a child, that loved to play in the mud. Never a thought or worry, as to how these hands looked. As years passed priorities changed, and these hands became important. Lotions, potions and painted nails to show off their natural beauty. Then arrived the child raising years, keeping these hands so busy. Carrying babies, then chasing toddlers, playing and enjoying precious moments. Laundry and cleaning, meals to cook, making a house a home. Ensuring that all within the walls, feel safe, secure and loved. Years of working took their toll, slowly these hands transformed. Once smooth and blemish free, small changes began to appear. Now the senior years have arrived, and time has left a trail. As I think of all these hands have done, I welcome every scar, wrinkle and flaw.
