It doesn’t get more classic than a hearty casserole. This bacon and egg potato bake is a simple make-ahead breakfast or brunch dish and is perfect for feeding a crowd. I am a firm believer that everything is better with bacon. But if you are not a pork lover, or you want to make a vegetarian-friendly version, this recipe can easily be adapted.

• frozen cubed potatoes (30 ounces), thawed
• 1 pound bacon
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
• 8 eggs
• 2 cups skim milk
• salt and pepper to taste

Other Ingredient Suggestions

This recipe is delicious as is, but you can always add (or subtract) other meats and veggies if you would like. Make it your own! The choices are just about endless. Here are a few suggestions for different ways to whip up a pan of some bacon and egg potato bake.

• Cubed Ham
• Ground Sausage
• Spinach
• Mushrooms
• Tomatoes
• Onions
• Sweet Bell Peppers

Preheat the oven to 350℉. While the oven preheats, cook the bacon according to the directions on the packaging. Drain any grease as needed. Let the bacon cool, crumble and set it aside.

Then, in a large glass mixing bowl, combine the thawed potatoes, crumbled bacon, and 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well, and then spoon the mixture into a greased 9 x 13 in. baking dish.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and milk until blended. Pour the eggs over the potato mixture and place the baking dish into the oven.

Bake, uncovered for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the middle comes out clean. Remove the bacon and egg potato bake from the oven. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the casserole and serve warm.

Yes. If you are a night owl like me and not a fan of early morning wake-up calls, this bacon and egg potato bake can easily be made in advance. Just follow the directions as listed above, cover with aluminum foil, and refrigerate overnight. Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before baking (and don’t forget to remove the foil!)

How to Quickly Defrost Your Potatoes

Oops! Did you forget to defrost your potatoes? No worries! Just put the frozen potatoes in a strainer and rinse under cold water until thawed. Drain off any excess water, and you are ready to go.

This casserole also makes for some yummy leftovers! Let the bacon and egg potato bake cool.

Then cover with aluminum foil or place the leftovers in some glass food storage containers. They can be stored in the fridge for up to four days.
