This recipe is variable. If you need more add more, if you need less take some away. Start by making mashed potatoes, peel, cut, and boil potatoes. While potatoes are on, if you are using Velveeta...start slicing. You will need enough cheese to cover the cassarole dish with atleast 1 layer, almost 2. When half way through the boiling process start browning your meet. Spice it to taste, I like Creole seasoning, but salt/pepper...or none at all work too. Also, when you start your meat to brown, turn your oven on about 350-400 Deg. Make your potatoes, then spoon them into the bottom of a casserole dish. Put a layer of cheese on top. Then spoon your drained meat on top of the cheese. Add a few slices to the stop of the meat for garnish...or extra cheese Put the casserole dish in the oven for about 15-20 min...long enough for the cheese to melt. Take the dish out, wait for about 5-10 min to let the potatoes settle and become firm...then serve! my mom!!! About 4...add more to the amount for more people30Kids love it...as do husbands!!! It's a poor man's filler, but it gets the job done! I make this weekly!1-1.5lb of ground meat5-6 good sized potatoes8-10 Slices of American or Velveeta CheeseSpice to taste.

My husband and I made these with the girls this weekend and the LOVED IT! They wrote their names on their bags and felt so proud b/c they had "MADE THEIR OWN OMLET!" (they are 5 & 6). My husband and I each made our own as well and they were VERY GOOD! Great way to combine breakfast with an activity...ENJOY!

ZIPLOC OMELETS

This works great !!! Good when you're alone or when all your family is together. Best feature is that no one has to wait for their special omelet !!! Have guests write their name on a quart-size Ziploc freezer bag with permanent marker.

- Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the quart size Ziploc bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them.

- Put out a variety of ingredients such as: sausage, bacon, cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, mushrooms, etc.

- Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shakes.

- Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up.

- Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes.

You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water.

- Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed.

- Nice to serve with fresh fruit and coffee cake; everyone gets involved in the process and a great conversation piece.

Imagine having these ready the night before, and putting the bag in boiling water while you get ready. And in 13 minutes, you have a nice omlette for a quick breakfast!!!
