Easy Potato and Bacon Breakfast Casserole
4 c. Southern/country-style hash browns (cubes), I like the ones with peppers.
1 12-oz. package bacon
1 1/2 c. pepper jack cheese
1 1/2 c. cheddar cheese
1 bunch green onions, chopped (I don’t add if using peppers)
3 eggs
1 c. milk
Begin cooking bacon. While the bacon is cooking, place the potatoes in a 9x13" baking dish.Mix the cheeses together and sprinkle it over the potatoes.
When the bacon is done cooking, drain it on a paper towel and reserve 2 tablespoons of the drippings. Cook the onions in the drippings for 2-3 minutes or until they're tender and fragrant.
Spread the onions over the cheese mixture and then sprinkle everything with the crumbled bacon. Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper and, whisking constantly, pour the egg mixture evenly over the potato mixture. Cover and refrigerate
overnight or for 7-8 hours.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350. Bake, uncovered, for 40-45 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly but not brown.

Crock Pot Carnita Tacos
Ingredients:
* 2-3 pound pork shoulder roast
* 1 medium onion
* 3-5 cloves garlic
* Salt and pepper to taste
* 1/2-2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
* Corn tortillas
* Shredded cheese
* Shredded lettuce
* Jalapeno or chili peppers, seeded, sliced
* Diced tomatoes
* Cilantro
* Sour cream
* Salsa
* Avocado, peeled, pitted, sliced
Method:
Carnita is Mexican for small meat. Crock pot pork is perfect for shredding, creating small meat.
Spray crock pot with non-stick spray (or use slow cooker liners). Place roast in crock pot; peel and quarter onion, peel garlic cloves; place garlic and onion on top meat. Cover and cook on high 1 hour, reduce heat to low and continue to cook 6-8 hours or until meat falls off bone.
Discard garlic and onion. Remove meat from crock pot, remove bone and shred meat by pulling part with forks. Season meat juices to taste with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning (or other seasonings of choice); return meat to juices.
Serve with shredded pork in warm tortillas with shredded cheese, lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, sour cream, etc.
Crock Pot Cooking Tips
1. Use a less lean, bone-in cut of meat (fat & bone provide flavor which can be removed later) shoulder, butt, chuck roast, etc
2. Add seasoning at the end of cooking (less salt is needed; long cooking times drain herbs of their flavor)
3. Cook meats with onion and fresh garlic cloves placed on top of meat
4. Food should touch sides of crock pot and other pieces of food
5. Fill crock pot at least 1/2 full - preferable 3/4 full
6. Don't peak - every time the lid is lifted it allows steam and heat to escape, which will increase cooking time by 15-30 minutes
7. To ease clean up A) fill crock pot with hot water immediately after removing food; B) spray inside of cock pot with non-stick spray; or C) use slow cooker liners
