Comments / Suggestions
My Opinion
This came out really good. Even though I'm not a big fan of green peppers, they were really good in this recipe. I diced them finely, so you could still taste them, but you never really bit into one. I prepared this last night and I baked it this morning...it was so easy. Plus, I can do so many variations to this. Instead of ham, I could use sausage. I could do a vegetarian and not include any meat. Or i could add different kinds of veggies and meat. This is one I'm definitely going to make again.
I took the base of this recipe from Betty Crocker, but I added and changed a few things and I think it came out better with the changes.
Breakfast with Ken
My sister isn't a big fan of green peppers and since we were at our father's for Easter Sunday, he made two separate dishes - an 8x8 pan and an 7x13 pan. One pan had all the veggies and the other didn't have any at all. He was also making a ham, so he left the meat out as well. Since he was doing the two dishes, we found out a couple of things:
- Without all the veggies & meat, the 8x8 pan ended up being a little watery. We're thinking if we drop the Milk to 2 cups, that might help make it a bit more solid.
- When cooking in an 8x8 pan, it's a bit deeper than a standard 9x13 pan, so the cooking time does need to be increased. We're thinking 45 minutes, but this hasn't been tested yet.
High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): No changes.
Health Twist
For fewer calories and less fat, use Reduced Fat Bisquick mix instead of the Original Bisquick mix and use 1 cup fat-free cholesterol-free egg substitute instead of the 4 eggs.
Substitution
Try different types of cheeses in this recipe. Swiss or Monterey Jack work well, but you can also try seasoned cheeses, such as shredded taco cheese or pepper Jack cheese.
