In the past there have been posts requesting recipes for good breakfast casseroles. I found this one on a B&B website. I made it for company this weekend and it was very good. I get so many excellent recipes off of this bulletin board, I thought it was my turn to share! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/biggrin.gif I highly recommend it.

Donna's Ultimate Breakfast Casserole

vegetable cooking spray
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
1 cup chopped bell pepper
1 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
3 T all-purpose flour
1/2 teas dry mustard
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 cup skim milk
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
6 oz. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup nonfat sour cream
1 pkg (32oz) southern style hash brown potatoes (thawed)
paprika
5 large eggs, beaten
8 slices of bacon, crumbled

Coat a large saucepan with cooking spray; place over medium heat until hot. Add onion, bell pepper and mushrooms and saute 3 minutes or until tender. Add flour, mustard, and salt; stir well and cook an additional minute. Remove from heat. Gradually add milk and broth, stirring until well blended. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Add cheese and pepper, stirring until cheese melts. Blend in sour cream.

Combine cheese mixture and potatoes, stir well. Spoon into a 13"x9"x2" baking dish coated with cooking spray. Pour eggs evenly over top of mixture. Add crumbled bacon and sprinkle paprika on top. Bake, covered at 350 degrees for 35 minutes, then uncovered for 25-35 minutes.

Note: I used leftover, chopped-up ham instead of the bacon.

Hope you enjoy it!

Peggy...thanks for the recipe! I'm having guests for brunch this Sunday and I think I may have to re-think my menu!! Any idea on how many people this would serve? There will be 6 of us, but the 3 men are all very large weight lifting muscle bound "eat you out of house and home" type of guys.
Thanks...Erin http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif

Erin,

I served it to three men, three women and two children and still had leftovers. I think most of the men had seconds too, though they aren't extremely big eaters. My guess is that you would have plenty.

FYI - The rest of my brunch menu was the Blueberry Poundcake (CL Complete) and the Strawberry-Kiwi Salad (April '01). Both are excellent also.

Good luck with your brunch!

Peggy

Thanks again Peggy!! Brunch was a sucess and the casserole was a hit!! I did change a couple of minor things...I used back bacon instead of slices and mixed it in with the veggies, and I added a 6th egg. It was wonderful. My DH has already asked me to make more so he can take it to work for his lunches!! So give yourself a pat on the back!!

Peggy,
Thanks so much for the wonderful web site! I was checking out the Inn Keeper Cookbooks and surprised to see I had one of them on my shelf...It's the "Angel of the Sea" from Cape May, NJ. Now I am gonna have to try to find it in my collection! Let us know if you try any of the other recipes on the web site.

Peggy,
Just another vote for this casserole. We really enjoyed it.... I made it with leftover Easter ham and probably won't get another ham until next Easter. Next time I will try it with bacon. I did see this on another website but don't know if I would have made it if I hadn't read your post. Thanks.

Can I make this the day before and bake it at the Brunch? I'm thinking of trying it for a Mother's Day Brunch.

McSix,

I think it would be fine to make it a day ahead. I would just bring it out of the refrigerator about 30-45 minutes before baking to bring it close to room temperature.
Hope you like it!
