Sausage or Ham Quiche

I found this on The Dish Washer's camera where we made this and I forgot to post about it. This is a recipe from his hometown and he has perfected it! I usually just make sure he has everything he needs and tell him this is what we are having and he works his magic. We usually eat it for supper, but it would be great, OBVIOUSLY for breakfast or brunch. I'm going to post the original recipe with the pie shells included, but The Dish Washer leaves those out. Ours ends up being more casserole than quiche, but I sure would love to try it one day with the pie crust! The original recipe also just calls for sausage, but we were in a rock and a hard place this last time with NO SAUSAGE in our house, so we opted to cube the ham steak instead. Either way...YUM!

Sausage Quiche

1 pound sausage

2 (9-inch) pie shells

2 c. grated cheese

4 large eggs, beaten

2/3 c. milk

1 tsp. dry mustard

dash salt

1 (8 oz.) sour cream

green onions, chopped and sauteed

Cook and crumble sausage, drain. Line pie shells with sausage. Sprinkle cheese over sausage. Beat together eggs, milk, dry mustard, salt, sour cream and onions. Pour over sausage. Bake at 350 for 1 hour.

For freezing: Freeze before baking. Cover with aluminum foil and freeze. Do not thaw before baking.

While I am thinking of quiche, I will plan to post the recipe I use for Quiche Lorraine soon.

Creamy Squash Casserole

Well, 7 days late and 7 dollars short in getting this to you! I was looking for a different way to make squash casserole and found this online. It was very good. Still doesn't beat our all time favorite squash casserole but still very good!

4 pounds yellow squash, sliced
1/2 stick butter, softened
1 cup mayonnaise
2 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon white sugar
3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 (6 oz.) can French fried onions - I had the big can, so I just used enough to cover the top


Preheat oven to 350. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add squash; cook until tender but still firm. Drain, and transfer to a large bowl. Add the butter, mayonnaise, eggs and sugar; mix together. Sprinkle 1/2 bread crumbs on bottom of greased casserole dish. Pour squash mixture on top and sprinkle with remaining bread crumbs and cheese. Bake for 20 minutes, top with onion rings and bake for additional 10 minutes.
