Egg Salad

So, I'm not going to do a meal post this week, because we totally cheated... We ate with parents and simple meals like a can of soup left in the crock-pot with some ham... We absolutely ate well on our $50 budget this week and will be able to stay under for next week (Thanks, parents!).
I am going to share a staple meal on our weekends.  It is a very simple to prepare and simple ingredient recipe that can be eaten as a sandwich, with crackers, or alone.  Chris often asks for it, and when he doesn't, it's my "surprise" meal for him.  It is the amazingly plain...

Egg Salad
3-5 eggs (depending on servings)
water
Any combination of the following or anything else:
mayonaise
mustard (any kind)
horseradish
onion powder
garlic powder
liquid smoke
worstershire sauce
paprika
red pepper
salt
black pepper
lemon juice

1. Bring the egss covered with water to a boil.

2. Cut the heat off, cover, and leave the eggs for 20 minutes.

3. Peel and mash the eggs with a fork.

4. Combine the egg with any of the remaining ingredients (or whatever else you want).


*I read somewhere to mix everything up except mayonaise, then add that last to get the best flavor*
5. Serve on a sandwich, salad, crackers, or alone.


EASY, YUMMY, AND, DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU MIX WITH, HEALTHY!
