Bacon & Egg Casserole
"Another one from the Penzey's Spices catalog. A great way to use that stale bread. I like to add a diced, sauteed onion to this."

This was great. I needed a recipe like this for a Jewish organization brunch meeting, so I couldn't use the bacon. Instead, I subbed 1 lb of frozen hash brown potatoes to give it a little substance. I made two pans, one plain and one with some added mushrooms and onions. Both were great but I liked the one with the onion/mushroom mixture better. Next time I think I want to try it without the potatoes, or with only 1/2 lb per pan so it is more bread than potatoes...but I don't think you can go wrong with this basic recipe.

Made this today. I did not have any bacon in the house so I took some Ham and Turkey lunch meat. I had a 6oz package. I made it according to directions. But I did put it in and 8 by 8 pan and baked it at 350 for about 35 minutes and then I topped it with a little more cheese. Thank you for shaing. It was really good.

Fantastic and easy recipe. Flavorful but non fussy. Loved it, I added jalapeños topped with a little butter salt and chili powder for the adult side and it was all gone in no time. Comfortably feeds 4 adults as a stand-alone meal.

I halved the recipe and added red onion & baked it for about 40 min. Served with a spicy maple syrup, so yummy and easy to change up by adding different veggies & spices.

I made this for the moms at my child's preschool. It was a hit! I added 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp cayenne and 1 tsp worchestershire, and I used whole wheat bread. Can't wait to serve to the family! Thanks, Christopher!

I added green pepper and dehydrated onion for extra flavor. My family will top with salsa.

This is a fantastic recipe for egg casserole. I substituted sausage for the bacon and a friend of mine made the same recipe only with vegetables and no meat. Both turned out great and were a big hit at a baby shower we threw for a friend. I added a little more cheese but other than that followed the recipe exactly. I will definitely use this again. Thanks!

I made this for breakfast this morning. I really enjoyed it!! It is a recipe you can really doctor depending on what you have on hand. I used half an onion in the mix. I also used shredded Monterey Jack cheese. For spices, I added some Italian seasoning, and some seasoned salt. Instead of the bread, I used some dinner rolls that I had on hand. I cut the recipe in half since there is only 2 of us. Thanks for a great new recipe!!
