Breakfast Burrito's 
by Cliff Maurand

 There are two ways to make these . . .

First way is to scramble some eggs and mix in chopped/sautéed sausage.

Heat a soft flower tortilla directly over the stove burner for a few seconds on each side.

Remove and butter one side.

Fill with egg/sausage mixture, add cheese, sour cream & salsa as desired.

 

The other way is to fry up a couple eggs, and also fry up a couple of sausage patties.

Heat tortilla as described above. 

Place two fried eggs on tortilla, then two sausage patties.

Add a couple slices of cheese, sour cream and salsa as desired.

Both are simple to make, easy to handle, and the kids love them!

 

Cooking Eggs

Cut an orange in half. Remove the pulp. Try not to tear the peal. Crack an egg open and put into orange peel. Set peel filled with egg onto a bed of coals. The moisture from the orange peel will cook the egg. Add salt & pepper.

Beef Foil Recipes

Keep It Simple Hamburger Foil
 by Deborah Wilgus

Serves: 4 to 6
Prep Time: 10 to 15 min.

Ingredients: 

1 to 2 pound ground beef
1 bag frozen Veggies
1/2 stick of butter 
Toni's Creole Seasoning
Salt
Pepper

How to Prepare:

Keep it simple is the key here. Lay flat a nice size piece of foil. Put the frozen veggies in the center.Crumble up the ground beef right on top of the veggies. Place pats of butter over the top. Season as desired. Close top and sides to make foil wrap. If cheaper brand of foil is used wrap an extra layer over the wrap.

Now her is the trick. The meat will cook with the veggies. You will need to poke wholes at the ends so that the juice can run off. Don't make giant wholes but small ones like with a fork. This will help the meat to cook through with the veggies. If your cooking over a fire poke holes away from fire or if over coals on a grill but coals in center and poke holes so it runs away from coals. The water that condenses from the veggies will keep it from catching on fire so your pretty safe but you don't want it to put the fire out either.

Can I spell out S-I-M-P-L-E here? 
This is one of my kids favorite dishes. 
The veggies are steamed and the meat absorbes all the spices. Again I use Toni's Creole Spices because we like the kick but I have also used a beef stew mix to give it a different taste. It's super easy and delicious or trust me I wouldn't make it.

Enjoy!
