Recipe Notes

I agree, there’s just no better combination than eggs, hash browns, and bacon. I love the color of this casserole, Blair! It sounds like such a great breakfast, brunch or even dinner dish! And using Blue Diamond Almond Milk is just perfect, too. I have a feeling this would be devoured in no time! Pinned!
Thanks so much, Gayle!
I have zero doubt in my mind that this is not delicious! Goodness. Bacon and cheese together – UGHH I go gaga! 😉
Thanks, GiGi! Exactly — you just CAN’T go wrong with this combo! 🙂
I could certainly get down with this casserole for breakfast or even dinner. Eggs with bacon, cheese, and hash browns is such a great combination. My stomach is officially growling this morning!
Yep, we’ve had it for dinner too, Jen! I love casseroles like this in evening, actually. So versatile, and then you have the leftovers to enjoy the next day for breakfast! 🙂
these are my favorite types of recipes – eggy/cheesy/potato-y! I love that you can make this and have it for breakfast for the rest of the week. Plus its so simple! Pinning for later 🙂
Thanks, Beverley! Exactly — you can’t beat the leftovers on a busy morning!!
Such a great idea, Blair! So versatile and easy and love that you used almond milk. You are so creative with your recipes. I need to come to your house for a week and get my brain re-energized, lol.
Seems we all need to take meal planning seriously these days. It’s the only way to survive it all!
Sharing 🙂
Thanks, Robyn! That’s right — you can have it for dinner one night and then enjoy the leftovers for breakfast all week long! 🙂
Perfect for a weekend breakfast!
Exactly, Megan! 🙂
Holy YUM!! Breakfast potatoes are my favorite! My hubby would extra love the bacon.
Thank you, friend! You just can’t go wrong with these ingredients, right? They seem to make everyone happy! 🙂
Can regular milk be used
Definitely! 🙂
.can u use regular milk and prepare the night before
Yes, Ann — that should work! 🙂
When I googled this recipe, I got about 20 different ones. I chose this one, and hit the jackpot! I have had 10 adult kids here for the Thanksgiving weekend. I made this AWESOME recipe, and the made me make it the next morning also. Don’t look anywhere else, this is the one!!!! For some reason, the rating stars below won’t take my ratio, but it’s definitely a 5 star recipe.
Yay! That’s the best complement. Thank you, Missy!!!
Says it can be made way in advance….can I prepare it the night before and put it in the fridge overnight? Bake it in the morning?
Absolutely! It’s perfect for that situation! 🙂
It needs a little zing, not too much, so I added a small can of chopped green chiles and it is perfect.
It was delicious, but I would like to add more eggs as it was rather flat (and did not rise enough). It seems twice as many eggs would be appropriate for the large 30oz bag of potatoes. Please let me know as I am trying to find a “go to” breakfast casserole for my family…thanks so much! Lisa
Hey, Lisa! I think that you could definitely double the eggs if that’s your preference. If you are looking for another go-to breakfast casserole, this is always a favorite: https://www.theseasonedmom.com/easy-breakfast-casserole/
Enjoy!
Good morning Blair,
Thank you so much for your expeditious response! I think I will start with doubling the eggs for the first recipe as it was absolutely scrumptious.
I appreciate the second recipe which also looks like it will be a winner for my “hollow leg” teenage boy.
Thanks again and take care, Lisa????
Sounds perfect! Let me know how it works with more eggs, Lisa. 🙂
If you double the eggs do you double the spices too?
Hi, Wendy! Yes, if you double the eggs, you’ll want to double all of the other ingredients as well so that you maintain the same ratios. If you double the ingredients, just use 2 9×13-inch pans (so you get two casseroles in the end). Enjoy!
