I made a chocolate cake. Tried a new recipe! I'm sure it is edible and probably even good, but it sure fell apart when I was frosting it with chocolate frosting! sure doesn't look nice! I'm so disappointed.
ok. Now on to the baked beans and the breakfast pizza and the breakfast casseroles!
Old Fashioned Baked Beans
1 pound dried great Northern beans
1 quart water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons dark molasses
1/2 pound sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled
Place beans in a Dutch oven or kettle; add enough water to cover by 2 in. Bring to a boil; boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; cover and let stand for 1 hour.
Drain and rinse beans, discarding liquid. Return beans to pan. Add water and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 to 1-1/4 hours or until beans are tender. Drain, reserving 2 cups cooking liquid.
In a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish, combine the beans, onion, mustard, brown sugar, molasses, bacon and 1 cup reserved cooking liquid. Cover and bake at 400 degrees F for 45 minutes or until beans have reached desired thickness, stirring occasionally (add additional reserved cooking liquid if needed).
So..now the baked beans are done...let's work on the
Blueberry French Toast with Blueberry Syrup
French Toast
12 thick slices of bread, cut into 1" cubes
2 8 oz pkg cream cheese, cut into 1/2" cubes
1 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
12 lrg eggs
1 to 2 cups milk
1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
Spray 9 x 13 inch dish with Pam. Cut or tear bread into cubes and arrange in the bottom of dish. cut up cream cheese into 1 inch cubes. Drop the cream cheese cubes over the top of the bread. Sprinkle 1 cup blueberries over the top.
In a mixing bowl, combine 12 eggs, 2 cups milk, 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey. Pour this mixture over the bread, cream cheese and blueberries. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
Blueberry Sauce:
You can make this ahead of time and refrigerate, then warm up before serving. Stir together 1 cup sugar and 2 T cornstarch in a medium sauce pan. Add 1 cup water and stir until smooth. Stir well so cornstarch won't be clumpy. Heat to boiling and stir 2-3 minutes until thickened. Add 1 cup blueberries, simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until blueberries start to burst. Don't let them all burst.
Turn heat off the blueberry sauce and stir in 1 T butter. Store in plastic or glass container and refrigerate until ready to use.
The next morning preheat oven to 350 degrees. Take casserole out of the refrigerator. Place covered casserole in a 350 degree oven and bake for 30 minutes. Then uncover and bake for another 25-30 minutes or until top is golden brown and the center is set.
While the casserole is baking, you can heat up the blueberry sauce on top of the oven or microwave until warm. Serve over top of casserole.
Now on to a breakfast casserole.

Mix all together and put in a 13 x 9 inch casserole dish (sprayed with Pam). Refrigerate overnight. Bake in a 350F degree oven for 45 to 60 minutes.
Now for the
Sausage and Cheese Potato Casserole
