Cowboy Breakfast Casserole

Ingredients:

1 large tube of Grands flaky biscuits

6 eggs

2 1/2 cups peppered biscuit gravy (Use mix or make from scratch)

1 lb breakfast sausage, browned and drained

1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

1/2 cup milk

Salt and pepper to taste, then a little more

1 can chopped green chiles, optional (They make everything better)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×13 inch pan. Cut biscuit dough into 1″ pieces and line the bottom of the pan. Next, layer cooked sausage over the biscuit pieces and top with cheese. In small mixing bowl, whisk eggs and milk together, adding salt and pepper. Pour over biscuits. After preparing gravy, pour on top and bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden and biscuits are cooked. Seriously YUMMY! (Serves about 8)

“A new year inspires a variety of resolutions. Daily simplicity is at the top of my list and this recipe is a perfect example. It’s one of my favorites because, hello – biscuits and gravy. It’s my family’s favorite because again, hello – biscuits and gravy. It’s also embarrassingly simple – shhhhhhh, what they don’t know won’t hurt them. Happy new year, friends and may your 2017 be simply delicious!” ~Courtney

I am terribly saddened by all the argumentative discourse that seems to be going on in today’s world. It seems as though it is no longer enough just to disagree on certain issues. We are expected to classify someone as an enemy if they do not always agree with us on all issues, lest we be considered weak.

To make things even worse, because those who disagree with you are now considered enemies, the sentiment seems to be that it is only fair and proper to destroy them, because they are the enemy, again with the fear of ridicule for being weak if we do not fight.

With all that said, and seemingly unrelated, I am a big John Wayne fan. From watching him dive into his role as a cowboy, to marveling at his time portraying a soldier or appreciating his acting gig as a sailor, there is seldom a week that goes by without me watching at least one

That old adage, “What you don’t know won’t hurt you.,” may have some basis in truth when applied to minor situations. However, when what you don’t know is presented in the form of a “Trojan Horse” and is what amounts to an incredible attempt to fleece American property rights, it becomes a different story altogether.

To put this unbelievable tale together, we need to step back to Joe Biden’s 2021 Executive Order which pledged commitment to help restore balance on public lands and waters, to create jobs, and to provide a path to align the management of America’s public lands and waters with our nation’s climate, conservation, and clean energy goals.
