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…

How to Make Bacon and Egg Breakfast Casserole:

How easy was that 👆🏼 right?!

You literally get to wake and bake.

All your peeps will come running to the kitchen for this hearty bacon egg breakfast casserole.

This scrumptious Bacon Egg Breakfast Casserole is way too easy not to throw into your regular AM routine.

We’re talking about a savory hot breakfast bake that’s:

I gotta warn ya: my Littles, from school-age to teenage all devour this Bacon and Egg Breakfast Casserole like nobody’s business. That’s not including Hubby’s tendency to inhale triple servings.

All this to say, you might need to double your breakfast casserole if you’ve got some hungry peeps hanging around.
