• 1 pound bacon, crumbled (or sausage, ham, Canadian Bacon, or a mixture of all of these)
• 8 eggs
• 2 ¼ cups milk
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. ground mustard (can also add 1 tsp. smoked paprika for more of a smokey flavor)
• 6 slices bread (can be whole wheat, white, or any other you prefer), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 2 cups shredded cheddar (more cheese is always yummy!)
• Veggies of your choice (red and green bell peppers, mushrooms, potatoes, etc.)

Directions: 

1. Cook bacon (or other meat you prefer), and crumble. Set aside.
2. Beat eggs, milk, salt, and mustard (and smoked paprika, if you would like) together in a large bowl.
3. Stir in bread cubes, cheese, veggies, and meat.
4. Pour into greased 9" x 13" casserole dish.

This week because it is Father's Day we are talking about, I have two tutorials for you! Both of these are so very frugal, but either would make the most excellent gift for your father!

 

We have some great topics in the works for Molly's Money-Saving Digest and would love to include your stories and ideas. July's Digest has just gone to layout.  You're in for a treat with this special issue on frugal fashion. August's featured topic is organizing and in September we will be talking about decorating. Show us your stuff! We'd love to showcase your decorating talent and organizing ingenuity and give you a free Digest, but we need to hear from you soon! We're always looking for "goal-getter" stories, examples of up-cycled or re-purposed objects, and frugal decorating ideas. Send me your story--Remember, if we include your contribution in a Digest, you'll receive that issue FREE.
