Sew God's Grace

My oldest daughter ran cross country this year, and every Friday one of the moms would provide breakfast after their early-morning practice.  One Friday, she told me that they had a biscuit and gravy casserole that was so good that I had to get the recipe.  I did, and I also looked up several variations on Pinterest.  Here is my version. Biscuits and Gravy Casserole:  (adapted from this recipe ) 2 cans refrigerated biscuits 12 pre-cooked sausage links, halved and chopped (or you can use 1 pound sausage, cooked and drained) 2 1/2 cups milk 1/4 cup flour 1/4 teaspoon pepper salt to taste (I find that with using the pre-cooked links that I don't need any.) 1 -2 tablespoons butter, melted Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Spray a 9 by 13 inch pan with cooking spray.  Press one can of biscuits into the bottom of the pan and bake about 8 minutes or until browned.  Meanwhile, whisk milk with flour and seasonings.  Place mixture and sausage int...

I have made this recipe more times than I can count!  I got the recipe from my mother-in-law years ago, and I finally am getting it onto my blog.  It calls for onions, but I always omit those since my family doesn't care for them.  I included them in the recipe, though, because I know many of you out there like them in your meatballs.  This is a great recipe for the freezer, too! Here's the recipe: BBQ Meatballs 1 can evaporated milk 3 lb. hamburger 2 c. quick oatmeal 2 eggs 1/2 tsp. garlic powder 1 c. chopped onion (I omit) 2 tsp. chili powder 2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. pepper      Sauce: 2 c. Ketchup 1 c. brown sugar 1/4 c. yellow mustard (I added this to the original recipe because that's what my mom always put in our BBQ sauce) 1/2 c. chopped onion (I omit) 1-2 Tbsp. liquid smoke (I omit) 1/2 tsp. garlic powder (I omit)     For meatballs, mix ingredients (I put them in my Kitchenaid mixer--so much better than using yo...

This is one of my son's favorite breakfasts!  Since is has a caramel sauce on the bottom, he has always called it "Jelly French Toast."  If I ask him what he would like for breakfast, that is usually his request.  I have been wanting to post this recipe for quite a while.  However, my pictures have not turned out so great.  So this morning I finally got one that we thought was decent.   For this recipe, you do need to plan ahead since it needs to refrigerate overnight.  It comes together in a flash, though.  It's also a great way to use up your bread that has gotten a bit too stale for sandwiches.  Sometime I hope to make it using some homemade French bread.  (I'll update when I do!) French Toast Bake (From Recipes and Memories--Sharon Springs Wesleyan Church Cookbook, recipe submitted by Carmen Selzer) 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup butter 2 teaspoons light corn syrup 12 slices sandwich bread Cinnamon 6 egg...

My friend Michelle served us her Enchilada Casserole the last time we were over at her house.  Of course, I had to get the recipe.  This comes together quickly--great for a weeknight meal.  It also makes a large casserole, so it would be perfect for entertaining as well!  Just let your casserole bake while you visit with your company!  Here's the recipe: Enchilada Casserole: 2 pounds hamburger 1  10 oz. can and 1  19 oz. can enchilada sauce 1/2 cup onion, optional 1 1/2 - 2 cups shredded Colby and Monterey Jack blend cheese Flour tortillas  (amount depends on the size of your tortillas; probably about 8 - 10 medium sized) 1/2 cup sliced black olives, optional Sour cream and salsa, optional Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Brown hamburger with onion if desired.  Add 1 cup enchilada sauce and 1 1/4 cups cheese to hamburger and mix well.  Place a small amount of sauce in the bottom of a greased 9 by 13 inch pan.  Dip tor...
