here's mine:

fritatta

2 eggs per person
whatever meats and/or veggies there are leftover in your fridge (even
cubed fresh tomatoes)
whatever omelette seasonings you like
cheese optional
butter or fake butter

precook any meats or veggies that may not be cooked in the butter. add seasonings. throw in the other meats and veggies. stir up the eggs and pour them into the same ovenproof pan. stir around so that everything is pretty evenly mixed.

heat up the oven to 400. while that's happening, slowly cook the egg-mush until the bottom sets. put the whole mess aside until the oven gets up to temp (you can actually start the oven at the beginning). when the oven is ready, pop the pan into the oven and cook only until the egg mush is no longer mush. test like you would a cake, with a knife. remove and cut into wedges, like a pie. it will hold it's shape.

serve it with bread or rolls. or soup. make sure the pan is ovenproof and range proof.

really very easy, like an omelette, except you clean out your fridge.

i'm editing to say the leftovers are terrific the next day, reheated alone or in a sandwich

I got this recipe when I married my husband. His mother made it from the time he was a boy. It is very, very good. Makes enough I don't have to cook for the two of us for nearly a week. Hope you enjoy it too.

Nana’s Tamale Loaf

1 lb pork sausage
1 lbs ground beef
1 diced onion
2 cloves minced garlic
1 can cream style corn
1 can whole kernel corn
1 large can tomatoes
1 large can olives (sliced)
Salt to taste
Grandmas Seasoning (I haven’t been able to find this seasoning for many years so I use Watkins Chili Seasoning.)
1 can tomato paste (small)
3 cups Polenta (I get this in the bin section at the grocery store)

Brown meat with garlic, onions and salt.

Add canned tomatoes, tomato paste, corn, olives and chili seasoning. Bring to a slow boil.

Moisten polenta with cold water. Mix into meat mixture.

Bake at 350 degrees for 90 minutes.

I have also cooked this in my large crock pot. Doesn’t have a crust on it though.
