Merry Christmas from Southwood Library

The following are a couple of favorite recipes for the holiday season.

A really good casserole for brunch is: Hash Brown Casserole

6 large eggs, well beaten

1 can (12 fluid oz.) Evaporated milk

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

1 pkg (30 oz) frozen shredded hash brown potatoes

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 medium onion, chopped

1 small green bell pepper, chopped

1 cup diced ham (optional)

I also add some chopped plum tomatoes

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease 13x9 inches baking dish.

Combine eggs, evaporated milk, salt and black pepper in large bowl. Add potatoes, cheese, onion, bell pepper and ham, if desired; mix well. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes or until set.

My quick and easy treat is: Marshmallow Balls

In a double boiler or heavy pan heat:

1 can condensed milk

6 bars MacIntosh toffed (4-5 bags of wrapped toffees)

1 cup margarine

Dip large marshmallows in mixture, then roll in Rice Krispies or Special K.

At Christmas I use the green and red Rice Krispies. These can be frozen and are very tasty.
