hey y'all welcome to what's cooking with
0:02
Paula Deen today and you see I got my
0:05
sidekick here with me because you know
0:08
one of the things that we have in common
0:10
we've got a lot in common but enjoying
0:13
good food is certainly one of amid Nick
0:15
I'm telling you my favorite thing yeah I
0:18
mean we were a match made in heaven we
0:21
met each other um when I first met you I
0:25
had gone on that Atkins diet because I
0:29
had just finished my dessert cookbook
0:32
and I had put on probably 25 pounds all
0:35
as probably went type 2 diabetes started
0:39
creeping in on me and I wasn't aware of
0:41
it but you know I just lived off of
0:44
sweets cuz that's what I was cooking so
0:47
when Michael met me he thought mmm she's
0:50
gonna offer me something so good well oh
0:55
she did she said no would you like I
0:57
said would you like a snack
0:58
I certainly know no one it would be a
1:02
pastry or a cupcake or a cake or pie or
1:07
muffin or something it was an egg sweets
1:11
cookbooks yeah she made microwavable
1:15
pork rinds uh-huh which believe it not
1:17
we're really good they're delicious
1:19
delicious but they have no carbs so
1:22
there's kind of a letdown but I pulled
1:26
out the cream cheese there's no carbs
1:29
and cream cheese so at that moment that
1:32
I met you I was living off of
1:35
microwavable pork skins and cream cheese
1:38
out and then then I think I kind of
1:42
chucked it and when I realized that you
1:44
like to eat as much as I like to cook
1:46
and feed people so it worked out great
1:49
you know this morning I want to talk
1:51
about especially with st. Patrick's Day
1:53
coming up you know a lot of people here
1:56
in Savannah have friends over for
1:59
breakfast before the parade and all the
2:01
drinking starts there's a lot of green
2:04
drips a lot of green grits served up in
2:07
this town that's exactly right along
2:10
with green beer oh yeah you know the
2:13
only
2:14
Green that I know of that people don't
2:17
want on March the 17th is collard greens
2:20
oh that's right but let me tell you
2:22
something honey on March the 18th folks
2:26
will step over your back to get in that
2:30
restaurant to have those collard greens
2:31
anything anything they can do to get
2:34
Mama's cooking in their belly because
2:36
they had had a large time on the day
2:39
before but how many times have I'm you
2:43
seen me make that breakfast casserole oh
2:45
that's delicious one of my favorites it
2:48
is it is so good and I think I reason
2:53
made this recently on a show and you
2:58
know there's so many ways that you can
3:00
do that breakfast casserole you can kind
3:03
of kick it up you know any way you want
3:05
to but I take six slices of just white
3:08
bread and I butter one side of it and I
3:13
put it down in a 13 by 9 by 2 pan and
3:16
then I crack 6 large eggs and beat up
3:20
with 2 cups of half-and-half so that
3:23
half and half it's gonna make it so nice
3:25
and rich you know rather than using just
3:30
regular milk because you and I normally
3:33
I keep 2% milk around for us instead of
3:36
whole milk
3:37
so the half-and-half works real well and
3:40
then I just take a pound of breakfast
3:43
sausage and I scramble it up and I'd
3:45
like cook it maybe like half way and I
3:49
take a whole white onion and I chop it a
3:53
salt and pepper with my eggs and half
3:56
and half the recipe says to taste but
4:00
I'm not tasting raw eggs so I just put
4:03
what I want in there and I also add a
4:06
little garlic powder y'all and that
4:08
really kicks it up and then I have a
4:12
couple of different cheeses in it a cup
4:15
of cream of cheddar cheese and a cup of
4:18
Colby jack cheese and I'll tell you
4:21
something else it's real good in it like
4:22
I said you can do anything you want to
4:24
but cream cheese
4:27
is cubed up in it it's mighty tasty so
4:32
it's so it's so easy to make you just
4:34
par cook your sausage and then add your
4:40
onions and cook it for three or four
4:42
minutes and then you drain most of the
4:45
liquid off your sausage but not all of
4:47
it because remember where there's fat
4:50
there's flavor so you want to leave some
4:52
of that in there and you just pour that
4:55
egg mixture over your bread over your
4:58
buttered bread and you'll want to
5:01
because you put your cheese on it last
5:04
you'll want to take your piece of
5:06
tinfoil and spray it with a nonstick and
5:09
cover your casserole with that so the
5:12
cheese won't stick to the aluminum and
5:14
you know how can almost just like peel
5:18
off and get on your food so make sure
5:21
you spray that top and then all you have
5:24
to do is cover your casserole put it in
5:26
the refrigerator and it's ready for the
5:28
next morning or Oh
5:31
4 to 6 to 12 hours it doesn't matter so
5:35
you just take it out of your
5:36
refrigerator and bake it in a preheated
5:38
350 degree oven for about 45 minutes and
5:42
it's a wonderful brunch dish but you
5:47
know you do it any way you want to you
5:49
can add bell pepper you can add bacon
5:53
with it or you can do it with ham like I
5:56
said I I like to use red potatoes with
6:01
mine
6:01
I'll ball them whole and then I slice
6:05
them you have to par cook those then
6:08
just pour your egg mixture over that and
6:11
it's so simple and then cover it with
6:13
cheese it's that easy and that tasty in
6:18
fact it's even a wonderful dinner dinner
6:21

6:25
