What’s super nice about this breakfast casserole is the fact that you probably already have everything you need in your kitchen. There aren’t a ton of extra special seasonings or herbs that are needed to make this taste good. After all…there is bacon in it! If you want a different taste, I have done this with diced up deli ham or ground sausage before too. You could probably even add them all in for a super meaty treat! Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at Spend With Pennies:
“t’s so easy to put together and a great way to feed breakfast to a crowd so I often make it when we have guests over!”
If you’re serving to a crowd, you might want to make two pans so you you don’t run out!
Ingredients
12 slices egg bread (or any type of bread will work), cubed
12 slices Oscar Mayer crispy bacon, crumbled (or 1 cup diced ham)
3 green onions, sliced
½ red bell pepper, finely diced
4 cups Kraft grated cheese, cheddar works well
6 eggs
3 cups milk
½ teaspoon each dry mustard, salt & black pepper
Instructions
Cube bread and leave out overnight or place in the oven at 300 degrees for about 10 minutes to dry slightly. (Do not brown or toast it).
Combine eggs, milk, & seasonings.
Layer ½ of the cubes in a greased 9×13 pan. Top with ½ of the bacon, green onions, red peppers and cheese. Repeat layers one more time.
Pour egg mixture over top. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 3 hours).
Remove from fridge and let sit on the counter while preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Bake covered with foil 45-55 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. (If you are baking 2 pans increase cooking time to 60-80 minutes).
