If I don't feel like making individual pancakes I pour the batter in a 9X13 pan and bake it then cut in squares. Easy peasy.

[@SkylarWhitmire]

What temperature and time?

[@Swimdown24]

Sheet pan pancakes- Yessss!

[@lisaloonin1087]

@@SkylarWhitmire usually 350 degrees I would check around 15 minutes and go from there. It depends on your oven and altitude. Do a toothpick or fork test. Sometimes I do an egg scramble and put in a separate dish and cook both in oven.

[@heatherchrisco9106]

Lisa Loonin thanks so much for the tip! I'm gonna try that the next time I make pancakes.

[@forhishonorandglory]

​@@lisaloonin1087 I have a friend that feeds a large family. She makes a batch of biscuit dough. Pours it into a 9 x 13 pan, scores the batter with a knife and bakes it. Makes great square biscuits (because she did not handle the dough,).

[@lethamurray3536]

Love breakfast for dinner. Get Ryder in the kitchen to do the pancakes. Would love some episodes of you teaching the boys how to cook, especially budgeting and how to look at what is in the pantry & fridge and figure out a menu. I think that would relate to a lot of young people out there.

[@cathymagoffin-ks7xp]

When my kids were growing i would take turns one on one cooking nights.. they choose whats for dinner and we cook it together.. great learning experience... And a lot of loving mom and kid time... ❤❤❤

[@jessicaschenk3509]

Get yourself and electric griddle!! You can cook six pancakes at once…or fry a bunch of eggs at one time, sausage links or patties, bacon, grilled cheeses, other grilled sandwiches…we use ours allllll the time! So handy!

[@debimorsette1685]

If you have an electric grill or electric pan, have Brayden make the pancakes for brinner and you can make whatever you planned. Everyone’s happy and Brayden can now make pancakes for himself and family whenever he likes.

[@dempseydearing3952]

My daughter, who is a mother of 5 now pours her pancake mix onto a large cookie sheet, cooks it in the oven, then slices according to various appetites.

[@sueholdener4135]

“It’ll still be good- it’s cheese!” Truer words were never spoken.😁

[@veggielovinaccountant]

Tip for low carbers: you can take that cheesesteak meal with cheese and serve it from a casserole dish. Family loves it and doesn’t seem to miss the bread. (Diabetic and need to watch my carbs)

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

I’ve done that before! It’s very good!

[@Becka034]

Great video and please stop saying you are doing a lazy or extra lazy meal ;) You are being a good steward of your kitchen by using what you have and not letting anything go to waste! :) Cold Cuts turn fast :) you are using them :)

[@margarettickle9659]

Not lazy....quick and easy.

[@antoinettepeeps1]

I was thinking “damn, that’s a lot of cheese!” And then you added more cheese! LOL 🎉 Omgosh!! I let out a good laugh in public 😂 Brooke, I love your videos!!

[@juliehelms4901]

Cheese is life! 😂😂

[@antoinettepeeps1]

@@juliehelms4901 Sure is! I totally ended up copying those potatoes! Crispy and cheesy and so yummy!

[@thelmacampbell2623]

U can fry those peppers with diced taters, pour over your eggs and put shredded cheese over all, bake in oven for a frittata

[@stephaniecook7603]

Love your videos! I always hated making pancakes too until I got a little pancake maker, it’s tiny and makes the fluffiest heaviest pancake, so yummy! It’s like the mini waffle makers but flat, and mine is pretty small but it’s perfect for my boys! ❤

[@misfit7610]

Great meals again Brooke! I truly look forward to your videos 😊. Hubby and I went to the food pantry for the first time today and they were just the most loveliest of people! So helpful and caring, I couldn't believe how much they gave everyone. If you need help please listen to Brooke as there is no shame for needing a hand up. Once you get over the embarrassment of your first trip it's no biggie, feeding your family is more important than anything else. God bless everyone in these troubling times!!

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

❤❤ love this!!

[@tenthousanddaysofgratitude]

“Fed is best” - Southern Frugal Momma Well done for doing the right thing for your family. 💖

[@margarettickle9659]

We've never eaten so good since we've been going to the pantrys. I've learned how to cook differently with different things I never made before. Love your helpful videos.

[@misfit7610]

@@margarettickle9659 I know, I made 14 days of meals for us and put it on the fridge for me to reference every day. When I was picking out the food I was thinking what would Brooke make lol.

[@desertfamilyhomestead3127]

I bought a stove top cast iron griddle for making pancakes, French toast and grilled cheese sandwiches I can do multiples at one time and it makes everything go faster. Great ideas for easy suppers.

[@dianedouberley8161]

Brooke if you turn the spam can over after you open it and poke a hole in the bottom with the knife it should slide right out.

[@AliceDavis-uk4rm]

Happy to hear that your ankle is getting better. You've got chicken eggs comin out your butt!!! The look on your face when she said that was hilarious. Gave me a good laugh 😂😂😀 We love breakfast for dinner.

[@TheCashBudgeter]

Brooke to the win again! 🎉 hands down my favorite KZbinr ! You’re channel is amazingg and so appreciated !!

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

Yay! Thank you!

[@bridgetmarden7224]

As a person with server health issues and depression, thank you for being so real. There have been several days in my life where I wear my pj's all day

[@lindabyrnes4356]

Nothing wrong with that. We all deserve those days. In the grand scheme of life...what does it matter. There are times where I would take nice hot shower and put pjs back on. Made me feel a bit better but I felt like I was still doing what I needed to do.

[@anitalouisecox9307]

Hello I have Been watching you for a long while now. I seen you and your husband eating bread and butter. My grandmother showed me how to make hobo butter. So good on hot biscuits. You get the boys involved. Take one box of blue bonnet cubed smaller is better one can of milk not sweet. Pour into a masion jar. Put the lid on and shake until your butter is done add salt to taste we always loved the hot bread and this butter.

[@loriella6250]

Brayden is so cute!

[@shawgeasland2096]

"Warsh-your-sister's-hair sauce" Oh that is one of the best renamings of that sauce I have heard!!! Love it!!!!!😂. We call marshmallows, smush mellows. And asparagus is either az-per-grass or spared-grasses. Love it!

[@pjb2773]

I love your broken seasoning bottle. It looks like something I'd pull out of my own pantry.

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

Half of my bottles look like that lol

[@melissaharpster3807]

We had breakfast for dinner tonight. Pancakes, sausage and scrambled eggs and a few tater tots. Yummy

[@kayleenvoelker2358]

I use my griddle for pancakes...6 at a time and the kids (mine a boys also) can cook them that way while I cook other things on the stove.❤

[@cassandradevoss5186]

If you guys like McDonalds steak egg and cheese bagel, those philly steaks are great to use to make at home! of course they even taste better just cook the frozen "patty" whole do not break up. My whole family loves it!!

[@pwhitkinn4543]

Wash your sister's hair stuff🤣 A lot of times a tear injury, is worse than a break. I love breakfast for dinner, it doesn't matter what it is. The tomatoes looked really good on the the sandwich. Yes, you can never have too many fresh tomatoes on a sandwich.

[@Jewelsquiss]

😂

[@jjpetunia3981]

I love the expressive faces of your family. Completely natural and adorable!

[@veroveronica894]

All of the food you make looks really good. Thank you for sharing your recipes!

[@cindyupton7357]

Sure isn’t nothing wrong with a lazy dinner. Easy doesn’t mean it’s not good!!! Love good and easy here

[@pennyevans1643]

I get excited everyone I see one of your videos ❤ thanks for all you. I do your five dollar pantry challenge each week ❤

[@allyrooh3628]

A griddle. You totally need a griddle! You can make all of your breakfast things at once! I should never watch your videos hungry. I want to make every dish!

[@connieshagena6830]

Me too😊🌻

[@rachelhero3413]

I am glad you’re healing well! I hated making pancakes uNeil I got my electric griddle. Now I make 6 at a time with no problem. I also use it for hashbrowns and sausage patties! And I make 3-4 grilled cheese/melts at a time on that bad boy!

[@ZenobiaDecrespin]

Look at your Dusty doing the Philly cheesesteak HUNCH awesome. All of these look great

[@missbubby4327]

I remember one of your first videos,when you asked Dusty to test ,he said"Why,everything you cook tastes great!",I believe him,your great Brooke!

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

Thanks so much!!

[@nancycarney]

Oh my goodness. Great meals. I just made spam fried rice. It was so very good. The guys thought it was ham. You rock!

[@leagriggs3065]

Worsh-your sisters hair sauce!!!! LOVE IT!!! I hate trying to say Worcestershire sauce. I love your version 😂

[@mollyswanner1607]

Loved this!

[@jillgott6567]

Nothing wrong with quick and easy. Due to having trigger finger and other issues I am lately enjoying bagged salad mix, toss on a cooked Chicken Sausage or dice up Cooked ham slice , add Tomatos and other veggies some mayo, season and enjoy a quick lunch or dinner. Works for me right now

[@tiffanysigafoose2302]

I'm going through my pantry and freezer too ! Been stocking up but now I M going through it. I love these videos!

[@lisacozort3445]

Good meals!❤

[@sherrieoday6848]

When you do make pancakes make extra and freeze… when someone wants some microwave it and eat!!!

[@aimee2234]

Too many eggs is a wonderful problem. As always excellent job and creative meals that look delicious as well. Thank you for all you do! Have a wonderful Wednesday and be blessed always, Southerland squad! xoxo

[@jenniferggreer457]

lol i know, wouldnt you just LOVE to be her neighbor?? "too many eggs?? well, i gyess i can be a good neighbor and take a few dozen off your hands, cause im nice" lol. would love them! i grew up on a farm and miss them!!!

[@maurinadittenhaffer6140]

Brooke You did such a good job being creative with using up your food. Simple and delicious. Yum. Hope you heal quickly. Love your video.

[@SandraDawe-xr3pb]

New subscriber from Ottawa Ontario Canada , I really enjoy your videos and your down to earth sweet nature. Food is insanely expensive here, as well as gas, housing and rents. 10 pounds of potatoes here 8 dollars. A package of hot dog weiners 6 dollars, small container peanut butter 8 dollars. We refuse to pay these prices. Tomorrow we're getting potatoes at 1.97 for 10 lb bag. We plan On buying 3 bags. My kids are now all grown adults, my husband and I have no idea how younger people can afford to feed their young families today, but you show them how. God bless you!

[@angelabutler7761]

I am so jealous of you eggs. My husband and I , along with the one daughter still at home, we love eggs. We typically go through 6 just for breakfast every day.

[@jerrieanderson2245]

Everything looked so good. We had sandwiches and chips with a side of fresh pineapple the other night and we were, why don’t we do this more often? Thank you for all you are sharing.

[@rhondavigil795]

I have been working on my freezers and pantry this month also. We have some extra expenses coming up, so I am trying to save money in the grocery category.

[@sarahkmorin-garcia3488]

You made me laugh today, Brooke! I'm literally eating fried rice and and spam as i watch your video😅

[@shirleysteeves4229]

I love watching you make me laugh. You are so creative.

[@joycepedercini3841]

I wasn’t sure if you were aware of that Amazon has Velveeta cheese pouches 24 of them for $23 and a little change and if you have prime you get free delivery. That comes out to about $.99 a pouch

[@melaniemurphy1005]

Yessss! Sheet pan pancakes are they way to go. lol

[@marklutker9720]

warsh your sisters hair sauce... love it! Had never heard of that one! I'm still laughing.

[@melissasmith7069]

Love breakfast for supper, but oh my gosh that one person who want pancakes or waffles. Lol. I always love the different ideas you come up with. I just used a can of spam and made rice with stir fry veggies. We tried the Bacon flavor. Im trying the jalapeños one next time. Thank you it helps so much when im stuck on what to fix.

[@markitaskelton8729]

I think I'm addicted toyour channel, I love your meals❤

[@ericaharris6897]

O my goodness. Are you singing the Lorax? My daughter used to watch that everyday all day. I can quote you that whole movie!! In fact, I may or may not have been singing along.

[@giannaswafford930]

Thanks for the laughs this morning… your saying of the w sauce and eggs coming out your butt 🤣🤣🤣💀❤️

[@sallygordin2869]

These all look delicious. Live breakfast for dinner. Blessings!!

[@sherrygantt2158]

You got me 😂😂. Eggs out your butt. And, sister's hair sauce. I am not even near the end of the video.

[@tenthousanddaysofgratitude]

I’m working my way through peppers too. Used some the other night charred up with olive oil and had some sausage. Sausage and peppers is a classic Italian pairing.

[@elizabethhenriott-raising5boys]

Most of my family loves sausage, green beans, and potatoes mixed together. Too bad my kids are very picky eaters and I can’t make anything I want that everyone will eat. Enjoy watching what you come up with.

[@barbladner1263]

OMG those tomatoes look fantastic I always eat tomatoes salt pepper and red vinegar. I'm sorry red wine vinegar

[@kelliesabie]

We love making fried rice with diced spam. But if you have some pineapple tidbits or chunks add those into the fried rice towards the end. Makes it like a Hawaiian fried rice. It's delicious!

[@margarettickle9659]

Awe man! That sounds awesome. Thanks for your comment!!!

[@jalessandra80]

I use those Philly cheese steak for beef and broccoli stir fry ❤

[@evelyngarcia8015]

I think they would love the lil smokies in the air fryer I made that on Sunday with scrambled eggs the kids loved it

[@hoosiermama16]

Sheet Pan pancakes. Look it up. Much easier/lazier than regular pancakes.

[@lindabyrnes4356]

Thanks Brooke for what you do.

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

Thanks for watching!❤❤❤❤

[@gloriapeel6887]

Awesome ideas! Yummy !

[@TinkerKat]

I make this easy meal for my family of 3 and always have leftovers. With all the mix of peppers you have thought this might be helpful in the future. It's also easy to double to feed more and to alter ingredients. Unstuffed pepper 1 lb. ground beef 1 - 10 oz. jar favorite pasta sauce As much peppers and onions as you want/like, chopped to your desire 1 ¼ cup water 1 cup instant rice Brown your meat and season to taste Cook the peppers and onions in some oil season to taste. Add the sauce along with the water to the meat and veg mix and season. Add rice and simmer until tender. {Side note I do use instant rice you can use other rice just adjust accordingly} I normally top mine with shaky cheese

[@lisacooper5544]

This sounds delicious

[@TinkerKat]

It is really good, my uncle who does not really care for green peppers always asks me to make it for him.

[@margarettickle9659]

First always rinse your rice well. Look up why on KZbin.

[@chinesesquawk]

Need waaay more Brooke's dancing in future vids!! JK but it is sooo good, love you Brooke!!!

[@amandagreer5586]

The philly cheese burgers looked yummy ❤

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

Random fridge burrito 🌯 for supper. Tomato, beans, chicken? or it may be turkey, gouda cheese, yep, works for me!

[@jennifermunn6898]

Another great video!!❤ I have those same steaks in freezer from Walmart we used them before they aren’t bad either! Great ideas!🎉

[@melissachase1918]

Hahaha! U got chicken eggs comin out your butt?!! Lol Does that mean your laying eggs!!! Lol I'll say I can be having a crappy day and u always make me laugh! I'm glad your buying at the farmers market, that way it puts money back to the community. I try to as much as I possibly can. God bless u and the family Brooke.

[@margarettickle9659]

There use to be a restaurant that started in the South called Po Folks. If they no longer exists you should stsrt your own using your recipes. Your boys could be waiters and your husband quality control. My parents had a small family restaurant with a wife and daughter as waitresses, one daughter as a part time waitress, and one daughter as quality control. My father was the cook. We had a blast. It was more like a 50s diner but judges and truck drivers were customers. Well known. Just sayin'

[@annielemaster]

I love your channel!

[@maryalice8229]

We love those steaks for egg roll in a bowl or subs.
