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

Very good, very filling. Used frozen cubed potatos that were thawed. Wheat bread tasted great for the bread cubes. Used canadian bacon instead of ham. Only difference I would change is I used Turkey Bacon - which next time I would use center cut bacon.

Made this for a family reunion weekend. No one liked it. Bland flavor, bread was mucky, runny. Followed directions to a T. Will not waste time/money on this again.

I made a few changes...I subbed 2 cans of mushrooms for the ham and used a can of whole white potatoes chopped for the potato, 4 cups of cheese and in place of the milk I used 2 pkgs of cream cheese and 1/2 cup milk beat together with the eggs (from another recipe). Also sauteed garlic with the onion....OMG...it was so good. I made it for mother's day brunch and came home with barely any leftovers! they couldn't stay out of it!

A favorite in our family. Dice then microwave potatoes with water in covered dish for quick cooked potatoes.

I have changed this over the years but it is the most requested dish I have ever made. I add extra everyting but keep to the basic recipe. I cook all the time but everyone asks if I am making this and it's gone in 4 minutes at work Love it

I am so glad I found this recipe! I am part of a moms' group and we take turns making breakfast. Everyone had a great casserole but me! This is perfect for a hungry crowd to go home happy. Love it!

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!
