LADY ANNABELLA WH IS FINISHED

 I FINISHED LADY ANNABELLA THIS MORNING AT CRAFT MORNING, 

I ENJOY MAKING THESE WALLHANGINGS.  I HAVE SEVERAL MORE TO FINISH.

I FIND THAT A MORNING AT CRAFTS IS ENOUGH TIME TO HEM THE BINDING AND SEW ON THE LABEL.  ITS A GOOD CRAFT JOB FOR MY THURSDAYS.

ENJOY YOUR DAY.

SAUSAGE AND POTATO CASSEROLE RECIPE

  SAUSAGE AND POTATO CASSEROLE

YOU NEED: 

LARGE BOWL TO MIX ALL THE INGREDIENTS

9 BY 13 INCH CASSEROLE DISH OR BAKING DISH

PREHEAT OVEN TO 350*F

TIME TO BAKE:  50 MINUTES

INGREDIENTS:

1 LB PORK SAUSAGE MEAT, BROWNED

1 28-30 OZ BAG FROZEN SHREDDED HASH BROWNS,               DEFROSTED, OR TATER TOTS, DEFROSTED.

1 SMALL ONION, CHOCPPED, OR 1/2 TEASPOON ONION POWDER, AS PREFERRED

6 LARGE EGGS

1/2 CUP MILK

8 OZ SOUR CREAM

8 OZ FRENCH ONION DIP

SEASONINGS:  1/4 TEASPOONS EACH SALT, BLACK PEPPER, AND PAPRIKA

1/2 TEASPOON DRY MUSTARD 

8 OZ SHREDDED CHEDDAR CHEESE

THAW YOUR HASH BROWNS IN THE FRIDGE THE NIGHT BEFORE BAKING.

BROWN YOUR SAUSAGE THE NIGHT BEFORE. 

IN A VERY LARGE BOWL ADD YOUR EGGS, MILK, ALL THE SEASONINGS, SOUR CREAM AND FRENCH ONION DIP.  WISK ALL TOGETHER TIL SMOOTH.

ADD THE COOKED SAUSAGE AND ONION.  STIR TOGETHER.

ADD THE HASH BROWNS AND CHEESE.  STIR EVERYTHING TOGETHER.

(THIS IS THE BOWL OF INGREDIENTS)

SPRAY YOUR CASSEROLE DISH.  I LINE MINE WITH ALUMINUM FOIL FIRST THEN USE A COOKING SPRAY.  EASIER TO CLEAN UP LATER.

POUR THE WHOLE BOWL OF INGREDIENTS INTO THE DISH AND GENTLY SMOOTH OUT.

BAKE AT 350*F FOR 50 MINUTES OR UNTIL BUBBLING ALONG THE EDGES.

LET IT COOL ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES BEFORE SERVING.

MY FAMILY ENJOYED THIS.  IT CALLED FOR SECONDS.  SAME WITH A COUPLE OF MY NEIGHBORS.  ITS GOOD FOR BREAKFAST OR LUNCH. 

ON A PERSONAL NOTE: I PREFER USING TATER TOTS, WHICH SEEM TO HAVE MORE FLAVOR AND SUBSTANCE, AND ONION POWDER. 

ON ANOTHER NOTE, I WORKED ON MY VICTORIAN LADIES.  I GOT THEM BORDERED, THEN LAYERED AND PINNED READY FOR MACHINE QUILTING.

                                      LADIES TO DATE

THAT'S IT FROM MY LITTLE CORNER OF THE WORLD.  STAY SAFE AND HAPPY.

SPACING TIP FOR MACHINE-QUILTING STRAIGHT LINES

ITS SO SIMPLE I DON'T KNOW WHY I NEVER TRIED IT BEFORE.

CUT FABRIC STRIPS IN WIDTHS YOU CAN USE.  I HAVE ONE, 1 1/2, TWO, AND 2 1/2 INCH STRIPS ABOUT 18 INCHES LONG.  JUST LAY THE STRIP ON YOUR BLOCK AND MACHINE STITCH ALONGSIDE THE EDGE.  PIN THE STRIP THE SAME DISTANCE AWAY AND STITCH AGAIN.

THIS IS MY VICTORIAN LADY WITH STRAIGHT QUILTING LINES.  I JUST MOVED AND PINNED THE STRIP AGAINST THE LAST STITCHING TO GET 2" WIDTHS.

NO MORE HAVING TO DRAW LINES WITH DISAPPEARING INK OR WASHABLE INKS.  TOO MUCH TROUBLE IN MY BOOK.  NEVER LIKED DOING EITHER METHOD.  THIS ONE IS PERFECT FOR ME.

SO SIMPLE.  TRY IT.

HAVE A NICE DAY.
