Lot of calories, but the peppers in it make it look pretty. Used for a pre-valentine brunch this weekend.
Outstanding !!!
My family loved this breakfast casserole. Easy to make with lots of flavor.
Great breakfast casserole – quick and easy for the work week and freezes well too.
I made the Brunch casserole , it does take longer than 15 mins to prep more like 30 to 35 minutes and about an hour 25 minutes to cook .. the only thing I did differently was to put mushrooms in with my onions and bell peppers and sauted them up … all in all really good …will definitely make again …
easy to put together and worked well for a group. Added mushrooms for additional interest.
Great recipe. Used cubed ham instead of the bacon, and, to make it easier, the frozen Potatoes O’Brien since they already have onions and peppers.
This is a very easy & delicious egg casserole. I cooked the bacon in the oven the night before to save some time in the morning. Assembled the rest of the casserole the next morning. The only changes I might make next time are a little more cheese (maybe mozzarella), & some paprika. It did take longer to bake than stated. Baked mine for 1 hour. Came out great & was amazing. Ate mine with a bit of ketchup. Great as leftovers too. Good for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Will definitely make again. Might even try it with different meats.
I have made this for years. the few things I do different is that instead of green bell peppers I add a can of diced chili peppers. I also serve with salsa or pepper sauce and use left over ham instead of bacon.
This was incredibly delicious. I fried the hash browns first and seasoned them with my own magic dust. I didn’t add the dill.
Delicious breakfast casserole that is reminiscent of Cracker Barrel’s hash brown casserole with a twist. I don’t care for green peppers so I didn’t add those, I added a little extra cheese and extra onion. I need to find a faster way to cook the bacon
Just in case it eludes you, use some of the bacon grease to grease your 9×13 dish. I don’t know why this says to do it first after you preheat the oven. The “grease your dish” part should come after you cook the bacon, so you can use that yummy bacon grease!!
pretty good recipe, easy to make. took longer to bake, but that’s ok.
Add a can of green chilis or a few dashs of hot sauce, also sour cream or cream cheese.
Delicious! I’ll be making this again!
For me, this was just ok. I think I may try again, but use the tweak another reviewer mentioned, to cook the hashbrowns on the bottom to form a crust, and then add the rest of the ingredients on top. I didn’t love the texture of the hashbrowns mixed with the eggs. I think I should have added more salt and pepper too, although I thought I had added enough, hashbrowns always need way more than I anticipate. I will say that I made it the day before, refrigerated, the next morning, put in a cold oven at 350 degrees, and it baked for about and hour and 15 minutes and was perfectly cooked.
Big hit. Make sure the hash browns are thawed before adding them.
This was delicious! I realize that I like egg casseroles without the potatoes baked in. But if you want an all in one dish, this is great! Only thing I did was to add fresh chopped basil.

I didn’t change a thing in this recipe!
I cut this in half but it came out with not enough eggs. I can tell it should be good if it had enough. I like that there isn’t bread.
