The weather’s nippy, it’s November, and we’re all gearing up for busy weeks ahead with the holiday season. With all the upcoming holiday weekends, we’ve got something good on our minds: Brunch with a capital B.
We used to make Brunch with the kiddos every weekend possible, but somewhere along the way something called sports happened. In our case, it’s soccer and basketball and Boy Scouts. Plus all the other life things. So Brunch kinda went to the wayside.
But with the holidays fast approaching, we’re bringing back weekend mornings with a hot breakfast casserole. Not the kind of meal you’d have to wake up early and fuss over.
No, not that kind. More like the kind of hot breakfast casserole you make the night before and that lets you sleep in.
We’re all eyes on you, Bacon Egg Breakfast Casserole…

Bacon and Egg Breakfast Casserole
Ingredients
- 7 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 12 oz can evaporated milk
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 16 oz plain refrigerated shredded hash brown potatoes
- ½ cup chopped bell peppers
- ½ cup real bacon pieces, I used a 2.8 oz jar of Hormel® Real Bacon Pieces, divided
- ¼ cup thinly sliced green onions, divided
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
- In a large bowl, gently whisk together the eggs, evaporated milk, kosher salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder until well combined. Set aside.
- In a greased 8x8 baking dish, evenly spread the hash brown potatoes. Evenly sprinkle bell peppers on top. Layer with half of the bacon pieces, followed by half of the green onions. Spread shredded cheddar evenly on top, followed by remaining bacon and remaining green onions. Pour egg mixture over entire dish.
- Cover tightly and chill overnight (you can also bake right away if you're preparing the entire dish in the morning.)
- Preheat oven to 350F, with rack on lower middle position. Let casserole sit at room temp while oven is preheating. Bake uncovered, 40-50 minute or until top is golden brown and puffy/set. Let rest at room temp 5-10 minutes before serving. Leftovers can be chilled and reheated nicely.
