this was great!! I cant eat it myself but I made it for company and they raved about it!!
I cut the recipe in thirds for the two of us and replaced the bacon with Morning Star Veggie Breakfast bacon strips. Thank you, Paula, for sharing this delicious recipe.
So, I have to get up at 4am to start a crockpot? Why? I'd rather prepare a casserole that bakes in 30-60 minutes for breakfast.
A basic and decent casserole, but the potatoes, while thawed, just means you have white potato bits with not much flavor. Instead, after you fry and crisp the bacon, add your thawed potatoes to that pan and crisp and brown the potatoes, as well -- and season with salt and pepper while you're at it. Then add the browned potatoes and bacon to the casserole. More flavor and a nice browned color the potato pieces, which remain soft because they are now baked in the casserole custard base.
Delicious breakfast casserole that combines all the good things to start your day. Simple and easy to put together, let the slow cooker do the work and enjoy! Will add this to our breakfast/brunch rotation!
Very good recipe
nice
