Bacon Potato Pie Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
1 lb bacon, thick-sliced and lean
1 onion
1 lb baking potatoes
1/2 lb cheddar cheese
8 eggs
Recipe Preparation
Cut the bacon slices into square pieces. Fry the pieces until
well-cooked, then drain on paper towels.
Peel the potatoes, then grate them. To prevent the grated potatoes
from discoloring while you prepare the other ingredients, you can put
them into a bowl of cold water. When you're ready to use them, be
sure to drain well and squeeze them dry.
Grate the cheese. Mince the onion. Butter a 9x13 inch shallow baking
dish. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add all the other ingredients and
stir. Pour the mixture into the baking dish and bake in the preheated
oven for about 45 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked. Serve hot,
warm or at room temperature.
NOTES:
* A brunch casserole with potatoes, eggs, bacon and cheese -- This
is a very easy brunch dish, similar to a fritatta in texture, but
full of traditional breakfast ingredients. The recipe comes from a
cookbook published by the _Contra Costa (California) Times_
newspaper, called "Tastes of the Times." Yield: Serves 4-6.
* It really does make a difference if you use good meaty bacon for
this. I find the best bacon at my local butcher shop.
* You can prepare part of this ahead. I think egg dishes are better
if they haven't been refrigerated. So if you want to work ahead, you
can cook the bacon, grate the cheese and potatoes and mince the onion
the night before. Store all these things separately in the
refrigerator, covering the potatoes with water. Then in the morning
just mix it all up and bake it.
: Difficulty: moderate (tedious).
: Time: 30 minutes preparation, 1 hour baking and cooling.
: Precision: approximate measurement OK.

Food Tips of the Week
A few tips on healthy eatingIf you enjoy eating, but want to get in shape and improve your overall vitality, then, as most people know, you need to start a thoughtfully prepared well-balanced meal plan. In a perfect world, this needs to contain 5 standard portions of grains, fruit and vegetables daily and embrace the right proportion of food types.
Some reduced carb diet guidlines:
* Understand the food labels Watch out for the food label that proclaims 'low carb' - check the nutritional information on the rear of the can or package. Some are only a little less and in some cases still higher than a competitors normal brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - often the carbs are identical.
* Use reduced carbohydrate chocolate for chocolate muffins. If you have taken the time to convert your tasty chocolate chip cookie or muffins recipe using soy flour, it would be madness to mix in those high carbohydrate standard chocolate. Chop up a reduced carb bar of chocolate into tiny chunks and use that in its place.
