Easy Breakfast Casserole

With the holidays fast approaching, you may be looking for an easy “dump” breakfast you can serve the morning of the big day.  I hate using the term “dump” when you’re talking about food but it really is that simple.  My favorite thing is you can customize it so the possibilities are endless.  Vegan sausage, bacon, kielbasa, prosciutto for the meat and a ton of cheese choices from simple cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack to fancy pants ones like goat cheese, brie or feta.  This Easy Breakfast Casserole can be assembled the night before and pop in the oven in the morning.  By the time the presents have been opened and the stockings raided, this will be ready to go!

I like to do a good base recipe and then it’s up to you to customize how you like it.  This one used bacon as the meat and pepper jack for the cheese.  If you’re not into meat, you can always use vegan sausage, beans, tempeh bacon if you’re looking for vegetarian options.  This would be awesome with a nice side dish like biscuits or cinnamon rolls because balance is about protein and carbs.

The video shows you how to bring it all together and what the recipe should look like in different stages.
