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
0:50
she's gonna offer me something so good
0:53
well oh she did she said no would you
0:57
like I 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
1:11
sweets cookbooks yeah she made
1:14
microwavable pork rinds uh-huh which
1:17
believe it not we're really good they're
1:19
delicious delicious but they have no
1:21
carbs it was kind of a letdown but I
1:26
pulled out the cream cheese there's no
1:28
carbs and cream cheese so at that moment
1:31
that I met you I was living off
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
liked 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 grit served up in
2:08
that's exactly right along with green
2:11
beer oh yeah you know the only thing
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
2:23
on March the 18th folks will step over
2:27
your back to get in that restaurant to
2:30
have those collard greens anything
2:32
anything they can do to get Mama's
2:34
cooking in their belly because he had
2:37
had a large time on the day before but
2:41
how many times have I'm you seen me make
2:44
that breakfast casserole oh that's
2:46
delicious one of my favorites it is it
2:48
is so good and I think I reason made
2:53
this recently on a show and you know
2:58
there's so many ways that you can do
3:01
that breakfast casserole you can kind of
3:03
kick it up you know any way you want to
3:05
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 cracked 6 large eggs and beat up
3:20
with 2 cups of half-and-half
3:22
so that half and half it's gonna make it
3:24
so nice and rich you know rather than
3:28
using just regular milk because you and
3:32
I normally I keep 2% milk around for us
3:35
instead of 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 like
3:46
cook it maybe like halfway and I take a
3:50
whole white onion and I chop it i salt
3:54
and pepper with my eggs and half and
3:57
half the recipe says to taste but I'm
4:00
not tasting raw eggs so I just put what
4:03
I want in there and I also add a little
4:06
garlic powder y'all and that really
4:09
kicks it up and then I have a couple of
4:12
different cheeses in it a cup of cream
4:15
of cheddar cheese and a cup of Colby
4:18
jack cheese and I'll tell you something
4:22
good in it like I said you can do
4:23
anything you want to but cream cheese
4:26
cubed up in it it's mighty tasty so it's
4:32
so it's so easy to make you just par
4:34
cook your sausage and then add your
4:39
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
5:31
four to six to twelve hours it doesn't
5:33
matter so 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 I'll ball them whole and then I
6:05
slice them you have to Park cook those
6:07
then just pour your egg mixture over
6:10
that and it's so simple and then cover
6:13
it with cheese it's that easy and that
6:17
tasty in fact it's even a wonderful
6:20
dinner dinner dish you know you can make
6:24
it around one o'clock and has plenty of
6:27
time to see it for dinner why are you
