One dish=lunch for the week

It's amazing how expensive "grabbing lunch" can be when you do it multiple times throughout the week.  (Am I the only one who still thinks it's going to come out to five bucks or less?  How long ago was that?!)  In an effort to do more meal planning I have a go-to casserole that can feed me for days.  It's flexible, it's easy, and most importantly, it's delicious!


Here's what you need:

-6 eggs
-green onions (one bunch, chopped)
-half of a container of mushrooms
-two small tomatoes
-a handful of shredded cheese (Feta works, too!)
-salt and pepper
-a can of artichokes
-one link of smoked sausage (or a small package of diced ham)

Start by cracking the eggs:

Add some salt and pepper plus the artichokes:

Add the chopped green onions:

Add the mushrooms (I cut them a little smaller than their original slices):

Add some diced tomatoes:

and the cheese:

and the sliced sausage!  I forgot to take a picture of this step, but I tried a new flavor:  jalapeno and cheese!  (Yes, I was the kid who loved the hot dogs with the cheese inside.)

Mix it all together, breaking up the egg yolks:

Pour it into a 9x13" pan and bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. 

Finished, easy as that! 

You can add any of your leftover vegetables to this.  (Zucchini is fantastic!)  This is a great way to use up those odds and ends in the fridge.

Enjoy!
