Good breakfast casseroles?

[Beth H]

I'm going to a breakfast later this week and need to bring something. I was thinking breakfast casserole (I live 2 minutes from work, so it's no problem keeping it hot).

Any good CL or other recipes to share? Thanks!

Beth,

I have the recipe at home, if no one is able to post it for you before tonight. Just a warning - you might want to test it out before you take it to a function. Despite all the rave reviews of this dish, I didn't like it at all. I guess you just never know when you'll be in the minority, so I don't take many chances anymore.

I just made the Farmers Casserole for the first time on Sunday morning for my out-of-town guests, and it was a huge hit! Of course, I made modifications that everyone says made a huge difference once I told them how it was supposed to be...

1. I used a 9 x 13 pan instead of a 2 qt casserole so it could spread thinner and get crispier.

2. I used 5 cups of shredded potatoes, not 3 so it wouldn't be as eggy.

3. Substituted crumbled breakfast sausage for the ham and used a full pound.

4. Used minced Walla Walla Sweet Onion instead of green onion because that's what I had!

5. Added a 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper to the egg/milk mixture, then passed around hot sauce at the table!

My group agreed that ham and eggs go well together in an omelette, but in a casserole situation the sausage was better because it made it more hearty. We will make this often with these changes! :D

Here is a more casual, but tasty dish...Not too light, but can be cut into squares and serves well.

I made the Farmer's Casserole for this morning's breakfast with Jewel's modifications. It was yummy! The whole pan was eaten in about 10 minutes.

Thanks everybody for your suggestions.
