Cheesy Amish Breakfast Casserole
This Amish breakfast casserole has bacon, onion, eggs, hash browns, and lots of cheese. My family loves this hearty dish! Try breakfast sausage in place of bacon if you prefer.
Cast Iron Roast Chicken and Potatoes
A cast iron skillet is a great way to cook a whole chicken! You can throw some sliced potatoes and rosemary into the skillet to make a meal — the delicious chicken drippings add a wonderful flavor.
Crispy Coated Cajun Fries
Potatoes are coated in a spicy mixture of corn flour and Cajun seasoning then deep fried until crispy. Very simple and really crunchy. I like mine extra spicy so I soak my cut potatoes in hot sauce for a few seconds before shaking them in the dry batter.
