Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in order in a wide-mouth quart-size mason jar and shake contents gently to settle.
  • Place new canning lid on top of jar. Using wide-mouth attachment for a FoodSaver, vacuum seal lid onto jar following instructions from your FoodSaver manual. (You can also insert an oxygen absorber before putting on lid if you'd like.)
  • Remove vacuum attachment and put ring on. Tighten by hand, but don't over tighten.
  • Label and date. Store in cool, dry location.

To cook:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.  Empty contents of jar (minus oxygen packet if present) into large casserole dish.  Add 5 cups hot water.  Cover and let sit for 10 minutes.  Bake, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes until bubbly. Remove from oven and serve.

Notes

This works as breakfast or dinner - you can even substitute in freeze-dried ham or freeze-dried bacon crumbles for different options.
