1/2 c sliced (I diced) onions

1 10 oz can kernal corn (I think mine was 15 oz)

Saute onions in butter and add rest. Cook on low heat. Need to double recipe if you making for more than 2 people. Serve with croutons or oyster crackers on top.

Cook as desired. We made ours over easy and then chopped up the buttered toast and mixed the runny eggs into the bits of toast. YUM! Just how my dad used to make.

Red and White Pasta Bake

4 cups penne noodles

1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Refrigerated Bread Sticks

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Cook and drain pasta according to package directions.

4. Add mozzarella cheese and combine. Add drained pasta.

5. Pour into a 9x13 casserole dish and bake about 20-25 minutes until hot and bubbly.
