I named it tater quiche but I’m thinking that a more bacon-y name would fit more appropriately since that was my kids’ favorite part of the dish.

Ingredients:
I double this and use two pie plates

French or tater tots – enough to line the bottom of a pie plate
8 slices crispy fried bacon, broken into pieces
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1 cup shredded cheese
1/2 cup milk
3 eggs
1/2 tsp salt

Line the bottom of your pie plate with fries.  Cook them according to the bags instructions until they are very well done, but not burned.  Usually this is a little longer than calls for on the bag.

While these are cooking, get your cooked and broken bacon, veggies, and cheese and mix them all together in a bowl.  Mix your milk, eggs, and salt in another bowl. I use my big measuring cup for this and I pour a couple tablespoons of bacon grease into it too because it always seems like the right thing to do at the time.  When your fries are good and done, pour the veggie mix over them, then pour your milk mix over the veggie mix.  Bake for 25 minutes at 425.

I sliced this up with a pizza cutter because it cuts stuff like this very smoothly.  You can serve this with ketchup or salsa.  Most of my kids ate it without sauce at all.

This cheese crust macaroni and cheese is a family favorite and it goes a long way.  It can be a side dish or a main dish or a breakfast or a midnight snack…

So I will eat it in a box
and I will eat it with a fox
and I will eat it in a house
and I will eat it with a mouse
and I will eat it here and there
Say! I will eat it ANYWHERE!

I have many young children.

What you need:

Rectangle baking dish
2 lbs macaroni noodles
1/4 cup butter
3 eggs
1 tsp salt
1 small can evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed milk. We made a mistake once.)
2 lbs chedder cheese.  Plus more maybe.  Go ahead and plan on 3 lbs.  Seriously.

Cook your noodles as instructed on the box.  Drain them and add your butter and about atleast a pound of cheese, shredded or diced.  Stir it like you mean it, allowing the cheese to get good and melty and the noodles to cool for a bit. Next you’ll want to add your eggs and evaporated milk.  Throw some salt in there too.

Here is where I should really post a picture because it’s hard to explain this next part without showing you.  I’ll try to remember to snap a photo the next time I make this.
What you’ll want to do is grease your baking pan with butter.  Grease it good, then you’ll take sliced cheese and stick it all over the inside of a greased dish, up on the sides too.  Make sure the entire dish is layered with cheese.  Then pour your macaroni mix into the dish and layer the top with more slices of chedder cheese.

Bake this concoction at 375 for 1 hour and serve it up with some salt and a glass of coke.  Or whatever drink you like.  If you don’t want your cheese to be too crusty on top you can cover it loosely with foil until the last 10 minutes of baking time.

Yum.

Syrup should be the butter kind.  I’m serious.

Ingredients:

3 extra large eggs
1 small onion chopped
1/2 zuccini chopped
1 small green pepper chopped
Two slices of cheese. Whatever you have.
Garlic to taste
Salt to taste
Olive oil

Heat some olive oil in a pan on medium heat.  Add your veggies, garlic, and salt and cook until tender.  Add your eggs and scramble them up with your veggies.  Once they’re mostly done add your cheese and cook until melted.  Scoop onto two plates, season with salt if needed, and enjoy.
