Teaspoon

Teaspoon

Salt

1

Dash

Pepper

 

1.   In a large skillet, brown and drain the sausage.

2.   Grease a 10 x 12 x2-inch baking pan, or a 12-inch Dutch oven.  Tear the bread into 1-inch pieces and arrange them evenly in the pan.  Spoon the sausage over the bread and sprinkle with the shredded cheese.

3.   Beat together the eggs, milk, mustard, salt and pepper and pour it over the mixture in the baking dish.  Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight, if possible.

4.   If a baking pan is used, place it into a preheated Dutch oven, setting it on several stones to keep it off of the bottom. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until set. (350-degree F.) If the recipe is increased allow a little longer baking time.

 

Variations:

a.   Substitute browned corned beef hash or diced ham for the browned sausage.  Add raw or sautéed onions or mushrooms and/or chopped, cooked potatoes. 

b.   For a meatless version, replace the sausage with chopped raw broccoli or spinach.  The spinach version is particularly elegant if you use a combination of Swiss and feta cheese and add chopped green onions and a touch of tarragon.  Thawed, well-drained frozen spinach works fine.

c.   Different cheeses or breads will give the dish a different character.

2.   Pour 1 box of white cake mix into the bottom. Sprinkle about half a handful of brown sugar evenly on top. Pour in one can of crushed pineapple and spread it evenly over the cake mix.

3.   Pour in one can of either apple or cherry pie filling (leave this in the middle). Then sprinkle about ¼ of a box of white or yellow cake mix on top of this.

4.   Now take a can of sliced pineapple and arrange over the top of the mix to cover the whole thing. Then pour about 2/3’s of the juice into the oven. Fill each of the sliced pineapple holes with a chuck of brown sugar and sprinkle a few shakes of cinnamon over everything.

5.   Dump the rest of the cake mix in and spread it evenly. Sprinkle a little more cinnamon on top for effect.

6.   Put the lid on and place the oven on exactly 10 HOT coals in or near your fire and then place 12 coals on top. Make sure the oven isn’t near hot logs or it will burn.

1.   Choose one or more of the fillings for your hamburgers.

2.   Mix all ingredients except the fillings. Add a little water if mixture is too dry. Shape mixture into 12 patties, each about 4-inches in diameter and ¼” thick. See technique below.

3.   Top each of 6 patties with the chosen fillings, spreading to within ½-inch of the edge.

4.   Cover each patty with another patty, and seal the edges firmly.

5.   Broil, grill or fry patties over medium heat, turning once, to the desired doneness, about 15 to 20 minutes. Burgers may also be wrapped in aluminum foil and placed directly on the coals.

 

Forming patties:

First divide the prepared meat into 6 portions. Form the prepared meat into an even loaf. Divide it into half. Now divide each half into thirds. You now have 6 portions of meat. Divide each portion in half for the top and bottom.

To make an even patty for a filled burger, place the hamburger on a sheet of waxed paper, with another piece over it. Use a rolling pin, bottle, or large can to roll out the meat into a thin, even layer.

Repeat for each patty.

Variations

a.   Cheese can be American Processed Cheese, cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, or Parmesan.
