Potato and Egg Casserole ($.45 per serving)



My, my, my! This is such a filling dish and it is very versatile. It's great for breakfast, brunch and even savory enough for a hearty dinner. You can serve this as a main dish with a veggie side or even pancakes! Serving 4 people for less than $2.00 makes this a dish that I come back to time and time again especially when times are tight.

Ingredients:

26 oz of Russet Potatoes (about 3 good size ones) (approx. $.67)
6 eggs (approx. $.65)
1 tbsp canola oil (approx. $.10)
1/2 cup milk (approx. $.11)
2 tsp seasoned salt (pennies)
1 tsp salt (penny)
1 tsp onion powder (pennies)
1 tsp garlic powder (pennies)
1/2 tsp parsley flakes (pennies)
1/4 tsp black pepper (penny)
2 slices of american cheese (approx. $.16)

Dice the potatoes into 1/2 inch cubes. In large saute pan add canola oil, potatoes and all seasonings. Cook covered, stirring occasionally until potatoes are tender to the bite. Remove potatoes and put into a square 8x8 greased casserole dish. Beat the eggs with milk and a dash of salt and pepper. Scramble in hot saute pan. Once eggs are cooked add into casserole dish with the potatoes. Mix the eggs and the potatoes evenly. Tear the two american cheese slices into 8 total squares and spread across top of the egg and potato mixture. Bake at 350* for about 8 minutes! Top with some ketchup or spice it up with your favorite hot sauce! Serves 4 very well for only about $1.79!! Whoop Whoop!
