Holly's Stew

You will need 1 lb breakfast sausage, 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 4 eggs, 2 cups milk, 2 lbs tater tots, salt and pepper. Preheat your oven to 350. First brown your 1 lb breakfast sausage and drain any excess grease.  When your sausage is just about done (no pink visible) mix together your 4 eggs, 2 cups of milk, salt and pepper to taste. Spread out your browned sausage into a 9x13 pan, you do not need to spray it with a non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle your 2 cups of cheddar cheese over your sausage.  I used  cheddar cheese blend. Next slowly pour your eggs over the sausage and cheese. Top with your tater tots.  You may not use the entire 2 lbs of tater tots but place on as many as possible. Bake a 350 for 45-50 minutes, uncovered. Let rest 5-10 minutes before serving.   ENJOY!!

For the crust you will need 2 cups flour, 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 cup softened butter. For the filling you will need 1/2 cup sugar, 3 eggs, 1 cup light corn syrup, 1 tsp vanilla, 4 tablespoons melted butter, pinch of salt and 2 1/2 cups pecan halves.  Crust: combine your flour, powdered sugar and butter. Once your crust is well combined spread evenly into a 9x13 pan (ungreased). Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. While your crust is baking first cream together your sugar and eggs. Next add your light corn syrup, vanilla, butter and salt, mix well.  Lastly add your pecans and mix well again. As soon as your crust is done baking pour your filling mixture over the crust making sure your pecans are evenly spread out. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting.  It will be a bit puffed up but as it cools is will settle down. Cut up your bars and ENJOY!!
