Burton Lunchbox: Bacon and Egg Biscuits

Dunno why but Frost cafe has been stuck on breakfast specials, bacon egg and cheese biscuits made solely in the lunch box cooker. Bacon first get it done as you like it, then put a little bacon grease on each side of a Pillsbury buttery flaky biscuit, about ten to fifteen minutes each side, then cook your eggs with a little milk beaten well for about five minutes, assemble sandwiches however you like and enjoy

Recipe and picture by Shannon E. Green :)


My inner midwestern cringes when I call this broccoli rice casserole without the cream of soup but it's close.  

1 c chopped chicken 
1/2 onion 
2 handfuls broccoli (chopped) 
1 handful baby carrots
1 pkg Uncle Bens brown & wild rice
1 handful shredded cheese

Mix all ingredients but cheese & place in lunchbox oven. Top with cheese. Cook about 35 minutes. (more if you like less crunch in your veggies) Enjoy.

Burton Lunchbox: Omelet

Recipe and pictures by Jonathan Perkins :)






Frost cafe making a breakfast special in the lunchbox cooker. I sauteed the leftover onions green chile's and added mushrooms, added tomatoes, milk, and four eggs, then topped off with cheese. It's kind of an omelet lol.

Sauteed onions mushrooms and chile's for about half an hour, that took the longest cause the lunchbox cooker doesn't like to be opened to stir stuff lol, drained grease then added the tomatoes eggs and milk stirring occasionally for about fifteen minutes, once the eggs are good and done add the cheese wait about a minute or so then enjoy. If you add sausage I would cook that first just to be on the safe side

Tip From A Driver: Vacuum Sealing Food

Tip and pictures by Tracy Greene :)



So while we were doing our reset I pulled out the ninja and cooked up a storm. I made hamburgers and burritos then cooked some brats. Sealed them in the ziplock vacuum bags and put them in the freezer. We have enough now for at least all week. Yummm. Do yourself a favor. If you don't have a BBQ in your truck buy some smoked sea salt. It made a world of difference in the burgers. I also add the Montreal seasoning.
