Hard-Boiled Egg Casserole

Another recipe to remember - a family favorite that is delicious. I make 1.5 recipes of this and put it in a 10x15 pan to ensure leftovers; leftovers are just as delicious and don't last long. It doesn't look like much (see px, below), but trust me - it is!  It's also a good one to make on a Saturday and throw in the oven for a quick Sunday breakfast. My kind of recipe😄

Ingredients:

12 eggs, hard-boiled and sliced

2 1/2 cups crushed potato chips

1# bacon, fried and crumbled

1/2 cup onions, chopped (optional)

6 tablespoons flour

6 tablespoons butter

3 cups milk

3/4# Velveeta cheese (generic is fine)

Directions:

Make cheese sauce: Saute onions in butter. Add flour, then milk. Stir until thick and bubbly. Add cheese (sliced or cubed) and stir until melted. 

Layer half of eggs in greased 9x13 pan. Pour half of sauce over eggs. Top with half of potato chips and half of bacon. Repeat layers. Bake at 350d for 20 to 30 minutes. May make and refrigerate before baking. Yield: 8-10 servings.

Enjoy!

Rainy Days

Last Monday evening Jesse had a few questions for Dad, so we stopped by there before we took a walk.

There were lots of staples to pull out of the floor, so Tuesday afternoon Lucy met us there and we had a staple-pulling party. 

Jewel had to try this novel position after Sarah extolled its virtues.

After awhile, Levi and Jesse showed up and another wall disappeared.

Jewel got to help with that,

while Sarah and I were assigned an upstairs job,

Jacob and Ben did electrical work, 

and Josh hauled and burned.

Dad came after work, and U. Jerry stopped by with advice and encouragement.

Dad & I and 3 littles left then; Idk how long others were there. Progress may not be evident, but it is there!

Loved having this little tyke and his mom hang out awhile on a rainy Wednesday.

Josh found a unique use for this box while Clay impatiently waited his turn. 

😍

Thursday was another super windy rainy day. I used to dislike rainy days but no more. Rainy days are quiet and cozy and cause a lot of thankfulness for my warm dry house. In the past when I had a houseful of littles - not so cozy. More like chaos😄

Afternoon brought us a sweet Kruz.

Also a Schmidgall crew who is always willing to sample fresh cookies.

Beautiful sunset Thursday after the rain finally moved out.

Thankful for these bar stools from Levi&Echo. They are well used and loved.

Friday Sarah babysat three sweet little cousins here.

And then another Pekin rink skate. Thankful we've had the chance to do this again this year. Kids have enjoyed it thoroughly and are not excited that Friday skates are ending soon.

Some kids to tyg Friday night; Jewel & Josh rode horses; Dad & I walked on a beautiful evening.

Another reason to enjoy rain - tile is full. That is good.

Monopoly Deal never gets old, ha!

And that's it for last week.

Sunday Evening at GGK

 Last Sunday evening we visited Grandpa & Grandma Kaiser in their new home. They are quite settled and enjoying their new place. Some px from my phone, some from Sarah/Jewel (don't remember who). And they might not be in order, oh well...

Rob & Leah

While most of us were busy working at Jesse&Lucy's and shopping being encouraged at APACHE last weekend, Tori, Kate, and Silas trekked to Morris to celebrate Rob and Leah's wedding.

Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Bahler!

Thanks A. Jill for posting on FB so I could have a picture!
