Hubby had this recipe when we got married, and although it wasn’t one that sounded interesting to me, I soon fell in love with it. I have made it countless times over the past 40+ years.
Ingredients:
1 pound bulk pork sausage 6 hard-boiled eggs 1/4 cup butter or margarine 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt Dash of black pepper 2 cups milk 1 can of whole kernel corn (about two cups) 2 cups soft bread crumbs
Directions:
Crumble sausage into skillet and fry until done. Melt butter in sausage and add flour and black pepper. Cook and stir until bubbly (about a minute). Add milk and cook and stir again, until mixture thickens and is bubbly. Add corn and stir. Place layer of sausage mixture in bottom of 1 1/2 or 2qt casserole. Add layer of sliced eggs. Alternate layers of sauce and eggs ending with sauce. Top with bread crumbs. Bake uncovered at 375° for 30 minutes, until heated through and crumbs are browned.
Cooks note: I like to use large chunks (about an inch) of bread for the topping. Nice crunchy bites!😋
If you love a good “ooey gooey” chocolate cake, (and who doesn’t) This made from scratch recipe will definitely fill that requirement. It is even better served a day later after being refrigerated over night. I have been making it for more years than I care to remember. Cook’s note:
The fact that it has three layers, makes it a little harder to manage and you may end up with a leaning tower of….not pizza…chocolate goodness!

It’s just unreal how many different ways there are to share things these days. I remember back in the old days I wanted to share a 20 second video with Ummie and sent it to him. He left his computer on all night so it could load. In the morning it was at 99% and refused to finish loading.😭😭😭
