Sausage and Rice Breakfast Casserole

If desired, make this one and keep in the freezer until your company arrives.

Either store it for a day in the refrigerator, or cook it covered, with a little extra water added. Always a hit at our house.

Ingredients:

2 pounds of sausage, browned
2 1/2 cups of rice (basmati, or long grain) cooked.
4 stalks celery - diced and sautéed in butter
1 medium onion, diced and sautéed in butter
2 cans cream of celery soup, diluted half water and half soup.
Black pepper and salt to taste

Directions:

You can cook everything the day before and store in the refrigerator or freezer until the next morning, or cook any portion and store in the refrigerator, or freezer until needed. Will keep in freezer for several weeks.

1. Cook the rice (1X rice and 2X water or chicken stock) and hold until assembling the casserole.

2. Brown the sausage and set aside. Sautee the celery and onion in a little butter.

3. Set up the casserole dish with half of the rice you intend to eventually add. Add half of the the sautéed celery/onion over the rice.

4. Add 2/3 of the cooked sausage, then the rest of the rice, followed by the rest of the sausage and the celery/onion.

5. Dilute the soup half and half soup/water and pour the diluted soup over the sausage.

6. Cook in oven, covered with foil, at 350 degrees f until all is hot (30 minutes). If cooking from frozen, cook for 20 minutes, then add some water or chicken broth, recover with foil, and continue cooking until all is hot.

7. Serve with eggs and hot biscuits, or as a stand-alone breakfast.

Might be too complicated for breakfast

Shrimp Grits

Mighty fine eating.

Serves two:

Need:

- Grits sufficient for two servings
- Half of the water specified by grits box recipe – plus a little more added later
- The other half of required liquid is Heavy Cream
- 2 Tablespoons butter, Dash of salt
- 2 ounces Gruyere Cheese
- Maybe 20 medium shrimp, peeled
- Slap Ya Mamma or other Cajun seasoning
- Lawry’s Garlic Salt
- Three slices thick bacon, cut into pieces Optional – 1/2 Cup Pork Sausage
- 1 Tablespoon onion, Chopped
- 1 Tablespoon Celery, Chopped
- 1 Tablespoon Green Pepper, Chopped
- 1 clove Garlic, sliced
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1/2 Cup Chardonnay (white) Wine
- 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
- Dash of Red Cayenne Pepper
- A few green onion tops, thin sliced for garnish

- Butter Toasted French Bread

Directions:

This dish cooks quickly and doesn’t do well just sitting around once you start cooking.

Peel and then season the shrimp with +- 1 Teaspoon Cajun Seasoning and +- 1 teaspoon Lawry’s Garlic Salt and set aside.

Chop vegetables and cut up bacon and set aside. Butter the bread and set aside.

Cook grits by heating half of the amount of water specified on box (plus a dash of salt) to boiling, then stirring in the grits.

Add butter and heavy cream, plus a little more water at end of 10 minute cook to achieve the desired thickness (I like mine thick).

Add Cheese, turn off heat and cover until needed. Add a touch of water if needed to keep thickness as you like. It can be difficult to thicken the grits after adding the cheese, so don’t get them too thin.

Cook bacon in a large sauté pan. Remove when crisp and set aside.

Sauté onion, celery, green peppers and then add the garlic when your other vegetables are nearly finished.

Turn the heat up to medium high and add the butter and then shrimp and then white wine.

The shrimp will cook very quickly as the liquid reduces.
As soon as the shrimp turn pink, add the bacon and heavy cream.

Reduce the liquid by 2/3 and add a dash of red cayenne pepper.

Cook (Skillet Toast) the bread as the shrimp liquid is reducing.

Portion the cheese grits in a bowl or plate, cover with shrimp and sauce and serve with butter toasted French bread slices.

Shrimp with Cream Sauce Over Toast

Ingredients:

12 ounces - 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
3 cloves garlic, crushed, or more to taste
2 thick slices French bread
6 Tablespoons clarified butter, melted, divided
2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 Tablespoons minced fresh Italian parsley
1 pinch salt, or to taste

Directions:

Butterfly shrimp and place in a mixing bowl. Add cayenne, paprika, and garlic and stir until shrimp are evenly coated. Refrigerate until needed.

Trim most of the crusts off of the bread.

Add 4 tablespoons melted butter to a skillet over medium heat. Add both slices of bread and toast until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove bread to a plate and wipe out any crumbs.
Add remaining melted butter to the skillet and increase heat to high. When the pan is very hot and you see the first wisp of smoke, add shrimp and use tongs to spread into an even layer. Sear, without stirring or tossing, for 1 minute.

Sprinkle with lemon zest and add lemon juice and cream. Stir with a spoon to scrape any browned bits off the bottom. Let cream boil and reduce for 1 ½ to 2 minutes as the shrimp finishes cooking and the sauce thickens up.

Turn off the heat and stir in parsley. Taste and add salt if needed.

Divide shrimp and sauce evenly over each piece of toasted bread.

Quick question about your spicy Comeback dressing you've listed before.

How long does it last in the refrigerator?

Spicy Comeback should be good for a week or two if stored in a sealed bottle. We never make more than we can use in a few days.

My daughter makes something like that, but uses canned biscuits instead of tater tots. It's very good.

Sort of a lasagna build. Layer corn tortillas with salsa Verde or red salsa, sausage and/or bacon, scrambled eggs, cheese, pico, cilantro, etc.

We do a really simple one.

1lb sausage (browned and drained)
1 block cream cheese
2 cans crescent rolls

Roll out one can of crescent rolls in the bottom of a 13x9 pan. Mix sausage and cream cheese and spread evenly. Roll out remaining can of crescent rolls on top. Bake per crescent roll instructions.
