Breakfast Burrito


My oldest son loves breakfast burritos especially the McDonalds one. When he first started wanting them daily my husband was willing to buy them frozen pre made. I was not to willing to pay between $6 and $7 for 4 frozen burritos when he wants to eat them 5 days a week. He prefers a hot breakfast most mornings. So a set off trying to make him some breakfast burritos about a year ago and it took me a year to get it down to what he wanted. For a while he was fine with just egg and sausage claiming he did not want cheese on them. Then when we started using his best friends mom as a sitter he started telling the sitter he wanted cheese in them. I have tried shredded cheese and velveta cheese. He didn't like either of them. 
So this summer as he was eating a McDonald's breakfast burrito I grabbed his second one and took a bit and looked at it because he says that's what he wants it like. It hit me I need to use a cheese sauce like cheese wiz or something.

So for I added cheese wiz to my shopping list for when I was ready to make a batch. I could find it so I got a jar of Ragu cheese sauce.

It is actually cheaper when I finally did find it so I am using this. 
This first batch I made my son was in the kitchen and saying no I don't want that. So I made one burrito with the cheese sauce on it and let him try it. His reply was 'MMMM that's good!"

So here is what I do. I crumble a pack of sausage browning it in a pain. Place that on a plate to drain with a paper towel. He prefers a bacon and pork sausage. Then cook any where from 18 to 22 eggs scrambling them.
Then mix the sausage and eggs. I let the mixture cook just a bit as I get my tortilla ready. I like to heat the hole package of tortilla in the microwave so they are moveable. 
Then I start to fill and fold them.
I also put my cheese sauce in a ziplock Baggie to make it easy to put it on this time. 
Once everything was in I folded them.
Above is the first two folds I make. 
I place them in bags and froze them labeled with Breakfast burrito cause I freeze left over taco meat already folded up like a burrito for work so if I don't have left overs or time to make lunch. 
Then end product is about 2 weeks or more worth of breakfast for my oldest son. 
And myself sometimes. They are very good. I haven't done the math lately since I started doing them this way but at one point I was spring about .45 to 50 cents a burrito. That is great!!!

Corn dog pop's update

I made corn dog pop's again last night and of course they were a hit with the kids. I made 47 totals this time. I also thinned out my batter a but so that it was a little easier to move. I did make a huge mess this time but I did figure something out. If I leave one well open while cooking a batch when it it time to turn them it was easier. I could just start by flipping one over in to the empty well and follow in suit with the rest. I think that will be my trick to cooking both sides. 
 
The corn dogs turned out much better this time. 
I am also experimenting with freezing some. I put 6 per bag freezing 12 total for weekend snack or meal for my kiddo's. if this works I think I will make up a batch one day and freeze them all. I am sure it will but wanted to test it first. 

Have a great day!

Baby cake corn dog pop's

A friend of mine gave me a baby cakes pop maker that she was given for Christmas because she does not bake. It didn't have any instructions and I make my cake Pop's by hand. I love pintrest and decided to look up thing to make in it other than cake pop's. the very first thing I come across was corn dogs.  Unfortunately there is no web site attached so I can't give credit to whom ever posted or the original person whom put up the directions. Anyways I want to share with you the results of what I did. 
 I don't even know the "proper" amounts for batter to be placed in each well. So here is what happened on my first try. 



I could not turn them over so I let the cook for a while longer that way. I had  to flip the pop maker on to its side over a plate and turn them out that way. The hot dogs came out of a few but most of them the edges came off. 

Next I only put a little batter on the bottom and placed the cut hot dog in the well and topped with a small amount of batter. This worked but you can still easily over fill the wells. I even placed a piece of hot dog in one then put the mix over it. That was a little messy and harder to work with. 



Here is the final product. My kids did not even want to share with me. I think I might of got six. 


All you need is a Jiffy corn bread mix and hot dogs. We will be doing this again. With better results I'm sure. 

Have a great day!
