"Isn't it about time for you to make your 'egg pie'?" my husband and sons inquire, using the nickname they've given this hearty casserole. It's nice enough for a special brunch and versatile enough for a satisfying family supper. -Patricia Throlson, Willmar, Minnesota

Made this exactly as in recipe. Very disappointing because it reminded me of a very good cheesy potato dish I make frequently for parties. This dish was so bland and the texture unappealing that I can't even think how to tweak it other than replacing the potatoes with bread as in a strata. I would never make this again.

Me and my kids LOVE this recipe! I like how you can just mix all the ingredients, pop it in the oven and enjoy your morning while it bakes. I am making it again right now and I have added chopped leftover turkey from Thanksgiving and will be topping it with sliced avocado! YUM!

it certainly takes the worry out of cooking breakfast for large numbers. AND it's goooood.

I've made this three times now, twice with sausage and once with bacon. It was excellent all three times but seemed to taste a little extra good using the bacon. I also used fresh, unpeeled, grated potato because I prefer fresh over frozen. It's a keeper!

So I made this recipe for a 2nd time because we liked it so much. However, this time I used southern style (cubed) hash browns and it wasn't as good in our opinions. I also used a green chili pepper since that's what I had and we liked the flavor that it added.

Very easy to make, turned out very tasty, and was very filling. As we had this for dinner I did add some chopped kale and chard to increase the amount of nutrients. I don't think they influenced the taste in any way. For future dinners I'd probably also then add whatever green vegetable was in my fridge needing to be used. If I used it for a brunch I think I'd make as shown in the recipe.

It's a wonderful basic recipe that you can play with the ingredients. For instance I was able to make this with frozen hash brown patties by thawing and shredding them myself. You could change meats cheese etc and it would be great!

This is the ONLY breakfast casserole that I make. Our whole family 'knows' it will be on the table on Easter Sunday morning! We used it for our youth group when they served Easter breakfast. I do bake it about 10-15 minutes longer. I also like it warmed up the next morning for breakfast.

This is the best breakfast casserole recipe I have found and it is so easy! (ONE dozen eggs, ONE lb. frozen hash browns, ONE cup milk, ONE cup cheddar, 1/2 lb bacon, salt and pepper-easy to remember!) Sometimes I follow the recipe exactly, but I usually substitute with potatoes o-brien (hash browns w/green and red pepper and onion), that way I do not have to chop the onion and green pepper separately. You can also substitute breakfast sausage for the bacon, or leave the meat out altogether. My picky kids love this dish, and we often have it for supper as well as breakfast. "I love that stuff", my kids always say!

I cut this recipe in half as it was just too much for us. I still had a small amount left over, so I reheated it. I don't suggest doing that as it was not very good. I used green chiles instead of green pepper and added more cheese (per suggestions from others who reviewed the recipe). This is a nice, versatile recipe.

Delicious! This is one of my favorite egg casseroles. I use more bacon, a little more cheddar and Penzey's 4/S salt for extra flavor. But it's good either way.

I have tried MANY recipes for egg dishes, but this one tops all!!! Flavor through and through and tastes very good. Definitely rates above the recipes using bread in them where you can get a sense of sogginess.

This was a crowd pleaser! Requests for the recipe were coming to me.I omitted Bacon, chopped onion and green pepper. I cooked off 1# pork sausage and added 1 cup frozen Picksweet seasonings blend and cooked until all were well done. Drain well on paper towels.It took about 1 hour to become firm, but the bottom was very brown.

I add sour cream for extra added flavor and creamy texture. Also use green chilies instead of green peppers. Its always a hit. You can also add crumbled fried sausage to really make it a meal.

I recently made this and it was delicious! I found I had to bake it for almost 60 minutes for the egg mixture to set in the center. Maybe the hash browns I used had a lot of moisture in it. Thanks for the recipe! This is now a new favorite of ours!
