Bacon and Egg Bake Casserole
I am so happy that spring has arrived. The days are getting longer and warmer. Some days I get off work at 6:30 PM and it would already be getting dark outside, but not now. It’s staying light until 8:00 PM. The winter days can get very dreary in Ohio.
I’ve been busy planning for Easter. I decided to make a bacon and egg bake casserole for brunch Easter morning. It can be made the night before, and cleanup is a breeze. You can add any ingredients you like, or what you have on hand. If you have any leftovers don’t worry, refrigerate and eat within 2 days, it tasted great the next day! I think next time I’ll make bacon and eggs muffins with this recipe! A great grab and go breakfast!
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 4 thick slices of bacon, cooked and broken into pieces.
- 1 tablespoon of bacon fat.

- 1 cup shredded cheese, I used cheddar jack
- 1/3 cup onion, diced 1/3 cup sweet peppers
- 1/2 mushrooms
- 1 cup frozen Potatoes O'Brian

- fresh ground pepper

- Crack the eggs into a small bowl, add the milk, and whisk until combined.
