100% would make again

For an inexpensive and easy-to-prepare dish, try this hearty casserole. You can assemble it ahead and bake it just before leaving for a potluck. People go back for seconds since it includes tasty basic ingredients like bacon, cheese and potatoes. -Pat Kuether, Westminster, Colorado

Made this for a birthday brunch. It was really, really good and everyone loved it. It baked in the time allotted and puffed up very nicely. I think I should have made the bacon more crisp so make sure you do that. I will make this many more times, I'm sure -- I think I'd like to try it with wheat bread, too. You could probably make a Mexican version pretty easily. Two thumbs up!
