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.

How to Make Breakfast Casserole with Hash Browns

Instructions:

1. Pour the hash browns into a 9 x 13 inch pan; drizzle with melted butter.
2. Bake at 425 degrees F for 25 minutes.
3. Remove from oven, and top hash browns with cooked breakfast meats and shredded cheese.
4. Pour egg mixture over top.
5. Cook at 350 degrees F for an additional 35 to 45 minutes.
