Loaded Breakfast Casserole Recipe
Are you looking for a great bridal shower idea? At my shower many moons ago, my sisters included a blank recipe card in the invitations and asked each guest to share their favorite recipe. Each attendee brought their card, and my sisters added them to a cookbook. Isn’t that the best idea ever?
This breakfast casserole with hash browns is my Aunt Carol’s recipe contribution in my bridal shower cookbook. I woke up rather early for a Saturday morning, so I decided to feed the family a hearty breakfast before they started their day.
This recipe makes a full 9 x 13 pan. It would be a great addition to any potluck breakfast or brunch, and I will definitely plan to make if for our next Easter celebration.
What I love most is that it has all the parts of a big breakfast all wrapped into one casserole. You’ve got a base of buttery hash browns, topped with all the breakfast meats (ground sausage, bacon and ham), topped with cheese and a layer of eggs.
