"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

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.

We omitted the green peppers to suit our tastes but this was delicious! I also found it needed to cooker longer...about 50 mins.

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.
