Bacon Hashbrown Quick Breakfast Casserole Recipe
When our kids were little and the weekend mornings were less hectic (like, lots less hectic) we loved having new quick breakfast ideas that could be whipped up fast. This recipe is one of those where it comes together in a flash, but you can also prepare it the night before and bake it the morning you want to serve it.
This quick breakfast casserole became one of my personal favorite breakfast for dinner ideas as well. I also love that you can switch the bacon out for ham making it even more customizable to what taste you’re longing for. And, it’s delicious!

For this quick breakfast casserole I used:
Cook and crumble your bacon first. Sometimes I use the microwave and this contraption here. While that’s cooking, stir together the eggs and milk.
Next, add the green onions to the mix. 
And then 1 cup of the cheese. You can use sharp cheddar if you wish, too.
Add the bacon last and spread into a 9-inch pie plate like this one here. Who am I kidding? That one is so much cuter than mine. 😉 
‘Nuff said, right? But here are the directions and ingredients in one spot so you too can make this awesome concoction of wonderful flavors you won’t be forgetting for quite some time.

** To make this the night before serving, mix all ingredients together, top with remaining cheese and bacon crumbles and set in fridge. Your hashbrowns will thaw in the egg mixture over night and it will be ready to bake in the morning. *** If you prepare this the night before you'll need to add time to your baking time. An extra 10-15 minutes should be good.
