RECIPE EXCHANGE - BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

I got this recipe from my aunt when many years ago. I remember eating it growing up but only on special occasions, and one of those special occasions was Christmas morning.

Because this meal can be made upto 24 hrs in advance, it makes for an easy going Christmas morning meal. I usally make it in Christmas Eve. Then when we get up to see what Santa's brought, I sneak downstairs and throw it in the oven to bake. By the time all the presents are open and played with and our stomachs are grumbling, my breakfast casserole is ready to be served. It couldn't be any easier.

Breakfast Casserole Ingredients
24-32oz Shredded Hash Browns
1 Stick Butter
3 Eggs - beaten
1 c Half & Half
1/2 tsp Season Salt
1 cup Cheddar Cheese - shredded
1 cup Swiss Cheese - shredded
1 cup Bacon crumbles
2 T Green Onion - chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 325. Spray 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Mix together hash browns and melted butter. Add to the pan. Bake for 20 minutes or until hash browns are crispy.

Mix together the remaining ingredients and pour over hash browns. If you are making to bake later, make sure the hash browns have cooled first. Bake casserole at 375 for 30-40 minutes. ENJOY!!!
