When the ingredients aren't there...

... improvise!!

Monday night, I got ready to make dinner and realized that I didn't have two of the key ingredients to make the meal I had planned to make.  (I was going to make breakfast burritos, but didn't have enough tortillas or any sausage.)  I decided to stick with the same idea of the breakfast burritos, just tweaking the recipe a bit.

I substituted Grands! Biscuits for tortillas and used some cooked ham I had in the freezer instead of sausage.

Egg/Ham Breakfast Sandwiches

In a skillet, I heated the ham (1.5-2 cups) with a bit of water (to keep it moist), then added a can of mushrooms (with the water).  Once that was warmed through, I scrambled a dozen eggs and mixed it in with the ham and mushrooms.  I scrambled the mixture together over medium heat until the eggs were cooked.  Then I added about 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top, covered the skillet, and turned off the heat.

I served the egg/ham mixture on the biscuits in a sandwich style.  

Two biscuits each (for J and me) was VERY filling, and the kids each had one, leaving two for leftovers (which I ate for lunch today).

Revamping this recipe worked for me!
