What to do with unused canning rings?
I decided to fix some homemade Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuits for lunch on Sunday. I’ve tried making them before, and everything goes well up until the ‘egg’ part. It’s just not very easy to eat these things with a bunch of scrambled eggs just piled loosely on the biscuit – they tend to fall out of the biscuit faster than you can scarf them down! I’ve tried using those special circular egg molds you put in your pan, but with a 12″ skillet, they never seemed to sit flat enough on the bottom, so when I poured the eggs in they would just run out the bottom under the mold and all over the pan – kinda defeats the purpose of the mold, you know?
We recently bought a large flat griddle during a fabulous Kohl’s sale (thank you PYP!), and we have been loving it (can’t believe we’ve gone this long without one)! We pulled it out and cooked our bacon, and then it was on to the eggs. But those little round egg molds were nowhere to be found, and I didn’t want a repeat of the Amazing Collapsing Biscuit Sandwich, so what’s a girl to do? Canning lids to the rescue!!!
We sprayed the inside of some wide-mouth jar rings with cooking spray, set them down on the skillet, and then poured the eggs inside. We let them cook until they were almost entirely set (just a little runny in the middle on top), gently popped the mold off, and then turned them over to finish cooking for another minute or two. Voilà! Just like the “eggs” on those other biscuit sandwiches that you might find under a pair of golden arches…Nicely cooked, the perfect size for the biscuits (I used canned dough ‘cuz I’m lazy), and no loose eggs falling all over the place!
The best part? We had two biscuits leftover. We stuck them in the freezer in a plastic zip-top baggie. Later that night, I pulled one out, wrapped it loosely in a paper towel and microwaved it for 60 seconds – fabulous! Just like my friend Jimmy Dean’s…(Okay, he’s not really my friend, but I still like his breakfast sandwiches anyway.)
[I’m probably the last person to figure out this little trick, right? You all probably had this figured out years ago…Oh well, just humor me, okay? 🙂 And yes, you could use fried eggs or poached eggs, which would solve the scambled-eggs-all-over-you mess, but I have a serious aversion to egg yolks that are not mixed together with the whites somehow, and I’m not talented enough to be able to pull off a poached egg, so scrambled it is!]
Happy Cinco de Mayo – Recipe!
Mom’s Enchiladas
Ingredients:
-
1 lb Ground Beef
2 T grated or minced onion
1 can cream of chicken soup
16 oz sour cream
small can chopped green chiles
8 oz. grated cheddar cheese (longhorn style is best)
1 dozen corn tortillas (I like white corn)
Instructions:
- Brown ground beef w/onion. Remove from heat.
Combine 1 can of soup, 16 oz. so. cream, and small can chopped gr. chiles.
Heat 6-8 tortillas at a time in the microwave – I spray them with cooking spray and stack them on a small plate.
Assembly:
- Smear warm tortilla with soup spoon of green chile sauce, place a soup spoon of meat onion mixture across tortilla, sprinkle with cheese. Roll. Place in pan. Continue until 13×9 pan is full, heating more tortillas as they are needed. Put a little milk in remaining sauce and mix. Spread on top of enchiladas, sprinkle with more cheese.
*Bake at 350º for 30-40 minutes.

Today’s Argument: Getting a newspaper invites lots of additional advertising into the home.
My Opinion: The author makes the point that you may be “compelled” to enter stores you wouldn’t normally enter and purchase items you wouldn’t normally purchase because of the additional advertisements that show up at your home because you are a newspaper subscriber.
I don’t know how you all feel about this argument but I feel that it may be the weakest of the 8. Most couponers are not impulse shoppers. We are the opposite. We are the shoppers who make budgets. We make lists and never enter a store without them. We avoid instant gratification. We are the grown-ups. We are the Moms.
Bottom line – unless there’s a coupon (and I always look – don’t you?), I throw advertisements away.
As for the argument that I may be “compelled” to enter a store I wouldn’t normally visit… well, it’s true! I sometimes do enter stores I don’t regularly shop at to use my coupons. I consider it more of a choice than a mind control, though. I go in, I purchase my coupon item (with cash – unless it’s free!) and I leave. I amaze myself with my self control.
