Sunday Morning

I made Chuck Wagon Wreck for breakfast.  To make this dish, saute onions and bacon.  You can use dehydrated onions but you must reconstitute them beforehand.)  Add some frozen hash brown potatoes. Cover and cook on low.  When the potatoes are cooked, scramble eggs and add them to the mix.  In a separate pan, make country gravy according to instructions.  I usually use the packaged mix.  After the eggs are cooked, turn the flame off, add some shredded cheese and cover.  When the cheese is melted and the gravy is thick dish out the eggs and potatoes and top with gravy.  I haven't given quantities because I never measure.  How much I use depends on how much I want to end up with.  This dish keeps well, so I usually make extra so that I have breakfast (or lunch) for a couple of days.

This recipe used 4-1/2 C water (4 cups for the gravy and 1/2 cup for the onions).  We also fixed some frozen juice which also took 5.25 C water.  Russ put a load of laundry in the washing machine.  We have a front loader which uses about half of the water as a top loader.  I haven't been able to find an  exact amount for our model, but estimates vary from 13 - 20 gallons.  These amounts are for two people, so for 1 person I will have to divide in half.

Now I have to go clean up.  I wonder how much I will use for that?
