Mmmm, this was really quite good. I ended up leaving all the ingredients in the dish overnight, and I loved the way the bread soaked up all the egg and whatnot. I skipped the celery, but doubled the amount of green chilies. I also used whole wheat bread and sausage links, but I wish I had used crumbled sausage as I think it would have tasted even better. Thanks for sharing. -
I love recipes that you can do ahead - and that's just what I did with this one! I threw everything together mid-morning and then baked it up after returning home from a long day of shopping. I reduced to 4 servings and used an 8x8 baking dish and also used sausage links like another reviewer noted. I added green onions and a couple of dashes of cayenne. I would make this again - the boys loved it! -
This was very good. My DH really enjoyed it, and said that it was just as good as the other casserole that I make. I used eggs and regular sausage, because that is what I had. I am thinking that it was a mistake, so I only used 1/2 cup of celery, not a whole cup. I didn't have green chilis so I left them out. I prepared this, and then made it right away. I think it could use some more seasonings, though I am not sure what. Also, it may be because I cooked it right away instead of letting it sit overnight, but the celery was still crispy, so maybe a light saute, or letting the celery and onions sweat out a bit in a skillet would be helpful. I will make this again though. Thanks Hill Family. -
This was fantastic. DH and I loved it, and DD ate the meat out. I used link sausage cut into 1/2 inch pieces. I also used torn french bread. Yummy and the leftovers heated well. Reviewed for tag.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
This is a family cookbook by the Hill Family. It all started with Charlie and Mary Hill.
They had 7 children; Bruce, Francis, Howard, Charlie, Mignon, Joe and Sarah. Food and cooking was a big part of Charlie and Mary's lives and has been a big part of their childrens lives as well. Francis's Poem The Hill Clan even talks about it.
The Hill Clan
When we were growing up, there was plenty,
Seven kids to feed, that was too many.
Dad, I remember you always worked hard.
And when it came to gambling, you were a card.
Mom, you were always in the kitchen,
Cooking, baking and making decisions.
What to do with one pound of hamburger, to feed seven,
And you always did, Oh thank heaven!!!
Bruce and I were always elected to do the dishes,
And we always did, with Dad's best wishes.
Howard and Charlie were on the run,
The rest of us prayed they would never get a gun.
Mom, Mignon always hung in there by your knee,
You couldn't even take time to pee.
Then, there was Joe, we couldn't figure where he came from,
The baker, the milkman, or some bum.
Sarah Ann, we thought she was the best,
She turned out to be the biggest mess.
This little ditty was just for fun,
For the rest of my life I will be on the run.

This picture was taken at Mary and Charlie's 50th Wedding Anniversary in 1988. Mary wrote this poem for that occasion and read it before the cake was cut.
Fifty Year Anniversary
Fifty years of marriage is something to behold,
Especially if all your friends are one hundred percent all gold.
And to come from a very large family that came many miles,
To wish us both the best of luck, with a kiss, a hug, and a smile.
We wonder how we can be so lucky to have all our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren here,
We hold them all so very dear.
It has been a wonderful anniversary,
And I must confess that we love you all and thank you all,
And close with just a heartfelt God Bless.

These recipes are from not only from Mary and Charlie, but their 7 children, their spouses, their children and spouses. Thrown in are also recipes from Mary's sister and niece. The Hill clan produced lots of good cooks and even more good eaters.
Mary also wrote this poem about her 50 years of marriage and boy was she right about more grandchildren and greatgrandchildren to come.
50 Years
It has been 50 years since I was caught.
Charlie chased me down and we tied the knot.
With a family of seven, it took alot of living.
But more then that, lots of forgiving.
We had four boys and three girls,
And I'm happy to say, they are still with us up to this day.
Nineteen grandchildren and five great,
I am sure there will be more, after this date.
We done our part for posterity,
I think that's the way it's supposed to be.
There will always be room for more.
We have hung a welcome sign on our door.
