Irene.

Who just got 20 new Facebook "likes" in 2 hours? This crocker. Impressive! All because The Crock Pot Recipe Exchange turned to Facebook in search of a beef fajita recipe. Welcome fellow crockers! Here is the recipe.

Ok, now back to business...

When a hurricane is heading your way, you don't head to the store to buy fresh meats or fresh veggies, right? Right. Sometime Monday morning (after Irene had visited Maryland), I realized that we had barely any food in the house. Electricity? Yes. (luckily) Food? No. It was time to get creative.

"Quiche-ish Irene" (6 quart pot)

~2 flat refrigerated pie crusts
~3 eggs
~1/4 c milk
~1 c frozen spinach, thawed and drained
~6 slices of bacon, cooked all crispy-like and cut into bite-sized pieces
~1 c shredded mexican blend cheese

Place pie crusts in greased crock pot and form something resembling a crust.
Cover and cook on high for 1 1/2 hours.
Mix eggs, milk, and spinach in a small bowl.
Pour into crust.
Forget that you were going to add cheese to the mixture and mix it into the egg/milk/spinach/bacon mixture at the last minute. (OR you can add it to the mixture beforehand...that's ENTIRELY up to you.
Cover and cook on high for 1 1/2 hours.
Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

6 servings.

I think this is probably my tastiest original recipe yet. It's kind of like quiche, but not. One of these days I'll make a proper quiche with a homemade crust and everything. Pinky promise. Also on my list of things to do? Go through all of my posts and tag the recipes. Searching for the beef fajita recipe made me realize that I REALLY need to do that. Sooner rather than later.
