      Background

      Anyone who knows me, knows I love a good McDonalds Breakfast! The reality is – it isn’t healthy and is expensive to have often. One of my favorite breakfast dishes there is the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese McGriddle, the flavor of the maple pancake along with the bacon, egg, and cheese is something I have been looking to replicate for a long time. This Bacon McGriddle Breakfast Casserole was just what I was looking for to satisfy my McDonalds craving in the morning.

      Bacon McGriddle Breakfast Casserole Preparation

      This Bacon McGriddle recipe is pretty simple and you may have a majority of the ingredients at home if you make your own breakfasts regularly.

      You can substitute the bacon for sausage, but the bacon is delicious!

      Ingredients you will need include:

      1. Complete pancake mix
      2. Large Eggs
      3. Milk
      4. Shredded Cheese
      5. Cooked and diced Bacon
      6. Maple Syrup
      7. Salt

      Begin with preheating your oven to 350°.

      Next, grease an 11×7 or 8×8 casserole dish (double this recipe for a 9×13 dish if you have a large family or are taking this to a group event). A 11×7 or 8×8 casserole dish serves 6.

      Start mixing the ingredients by combining 3/4 cup of pancake mix, 2 large eggs and 1 cup of milk in a bowl. Whisk until mostly smooth, some lumps are expected and are ok to leave.

      Then add in 2/3 cup of shredded cheese (any kind is ok, I used Colby Jack, since this is what I had in the fridge), 3 strips of cooked, diced bacon, 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are coated in the pancake mix.

      Casserole Baking

      Bake the Bacon McGriddle Breakfast Casserole for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.

      Serving Bacon McGriddle Breakfast Casserole

      Wait approximately 5 minutes after the casserole is out of the oven to cut and serve.

      Serve with additional maple syrup to taste.

      Leftover Reheating

      This Bacon McGriddle Breakfast Casserole is a great make-a-head breakfast. I like to make it on the weekends to take to work during the week. It heats up well in the microwave for a quick and easy weekday breakfast.

      I also have a great make-a-head Amazing Egg Casserole. This casserole is delicious, but takes a little more preparation than the Bacon McGriddle Casserole.

    • Stackable Peanut Butter Blossoms

      Posted at 6:00 am by Rebecca Showalter
      Dec 14th

      Peanut butter blossom cookies have been a staple at our Christmas gatherings for years! I have always had problems getting them to stack neatly for storage and space sake though. So several years ago by a fluke I had no Hershey kisses, but I had bars so I used what was in my pantry and made this version of Stackable Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies for my husband’s crew at the fire department, the taste was right on and since there was “chocolate in every bite” they became the preferred way to make them around here!

      Start by preheating your oven to 350°.

      Next you will cream together the butter, granulated white sugar, peanut butter, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla and milk. Then add in the dry ingredients flour, salt and baking soda. I do not premix my dry ingredients, I just make sure the mixture is well mixed together.

      I then use a cookie scoop to get even sized cookies, but roll each cookie in granulated white sugar prior to placing them on a cookie tray.

      While I find these cookies usually take 8-10 minutes to bake in my convection oven, prior to having a convection oven I found they baked for around 12 minutes. I use this time to get the next batch ready and to break apart the Hershey bars to place on the cookies when they are done. Below you will see how I break them apart for ease of placing them on the cookies when they are done baking.

      Once the cookies are done baking they should each receive 2 rectangles of chocolate. I generally break apart all of the Hershey bars and place them in a bowl so I have them ready to go when I need them.

      Once the cookies are golden brown, remove them from the oven and immediate place the chocolate pieces on the cookies. Let them cool on the cookie sheet for 4-5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack or wax paper.

      Wait for the cookies to cool to room temperature and then they can be placed in the refrigerator in a single layer to help harden the chocolate faster. I keep these cookies in the fridge or freezer to help them stay fresh longer.

      Ingredients

      1 Cup Softened Butter

      1 Cup Granulated White Sugar

      1 Cup Peanut Butter (Creamy)

      1 Cup Brown Sugar

      2 Eggs

      2 Teaspoons Vanilla

      2 Tablespoons Milk

      2.5 Cups Flour

      1 Teaspoon Salt

      2 Teaspoons Baking Soda

      1/2 Cup Granulated White Sugar to Roll Cookies In
