Great morning breakfast

Jan Wilkins from Blytheville, AR

This is one of my favorite dishes to do for a Holiday morning breakfast or brunch. Even Easter, which is just around the corner.
Fun for breakfast

judith leaming from dover, DE

I substituted 1 teaspoon of pure orange extract for 1 teaspoon of the rum. Very pleasant addition. Also be sure to used FIRM bread no thicker than 1/2-inch,.
a new tradition!

BOBBIE GEIBEL from Hinsdale, MA

I made this for our Christmas morning breakfast. It was quick & easy as well as delicious. I think it will become a holiday tradition in our household.
Delicious!

Judy Henfey from Cibolo, TX

We made this for breakfast Thanksgiving weekend and it was delicious! It put us into the holiday spirit!
Disappearing french toast

Amy Bates from Saginaw, MI

You need to make a double batch because this won't last long everyone would like to have more.
Love It

Wendy Wetzel from Dodge City, KS

What's not to love. Eggnog (which is our family's favorite) and Spiced French Toast (which is so easy and filling) A win...win in my book.
French Toast

Joyce E Landry from Nova Scotia

This is a fabulous change for breakfast. Easily doubled to feed those hungry mouths. A strip or two of Canadian bacon is a great addition on the side.
Better than usual

Colleen Daniels from Klamath Falls, OR

We make a lot of french toast in our house since it is so cheap and easy. This recipe really brought plain old french toast into a new realm! We enjoyed it soooo much more with the evap milk.

Hash Brown Casserole

Perfect for Easter Brunch!

Sandy Nelson from St. Paul, MN

This was perfect for our Easter brunch. Super easy for me to make and everyone loved it. Next time, I might try it with broccoli instead and omit the green pepper for wider appeal.
Added more meat

Lori Budahn from Cottage Grove, MN

I added a julienne cut ham steak to ensure there was enough meat in this dish since I was serving it as a supper main dish.
Yum

Deanna Boyle from Springfield Mo

This tastes just like my Aunt's .
Best Casserole Ever!

Deborah Marks from Jacksonville, FL

I've been making this casserole for years now. It's the only dish I'm allowed to bring for company events because they love it so much. It's easy and delicious. I've used diced ham and smoked sausage in the recipe before and they both give it a unique flavor.
Easy peasy

Valeire Cales from Lafayette, IN

So simple. Will make again!
Super good to feed a crowd!

Candus Lunderberg from Saint Peter, MN

I made this as part of my son's high school graduation party brunch. We fed 150 people and served this casserole along with fresh fruit and sweet breads. We made only one change to the recipe which was to add chopped ham instead of bacon. It was a huge hit. I ended up sending the recipe in more than a few thank you cards!!
Feeds a crowd for pennies

Adrienne Guarro from York, PA

We hosted 8 teenage boys in our home for the weekend, and I needed a breakfast option that would be quick, easy, and affordable. I doubled this recipe, and replaced the bacon with cooked and crumbled turkey sausage. Everyone raved about how good it was, and kept going back for 2nds, and 3rds. To save time, I even made the casserole the night before and stored it covered in the fridge till the morning. Then, I added an extra 10 minutes to the cooking time. I will make this recipe again and again. Thank you for sharing it.
Simple breakfast casserole

mar brown from Pooler, GA

I get requests for this offen..My family loves green onions in it,Then top with green onions serve with salsa.
Perfect for my hubby

Samantha McKenzie from Saginaw, MI

This recipe is great, as my husband loves a hearty breakfast, but so many things contain bacon - and he just doesn't like the fatty (delicious - in my opinion) food. However, turkey bacon is a favorite and it brings great flavor to this recipe. Thanks once again!

Picky Eaters Loved It

Carla Schumacher from THORNTON, CO

My children are very picky eaters, but they really enjoyed this recipe and have asked me to make it again for them.
A hit!

DENISE BOTTING from La Grande, OR

I made this casserole for a brunch pot luck at work and served it with salsa. It was a hit! I substituted red peppers for the green peppers and used a mexican cheese blend instead of the cheddar cheese.
Sunday Brunch

Kathrine Vatcher from ,

A great hit with the family... served it with sliced oranges for Sunday brunch... Yummy!!
Excellent Hash Brown Casserole

Kathy Cole from Fairfield, AL

My family really enjoyed this casserole. It was easy to make and very good. I did add 1 extra cup of cheese and diced ham, and 1 extra egg, that was because my family and I like alot of cheese and meat in our casseroles, other than the additions mentioned, I followed the recipe. Best casserole I ever made, will definitely make again.
OMG

madeline phauls from JAMESTOWN, NY

This is the best.
Good

Julie Brandt from Grand Forks, ND

Were made as part of holiday celebration. Not my preference for that occasion, but have a good flavor and texture. Something different!
Great breakfast dish

Kevin Dugan from Bluffton, SC

I thought this was easy and tasty. As a personal preference I would add more bacon and cheese but this was a an easy dish for Christmas morning.
Great

stephanie schiff from ,

Great breakfast item!!!
been waiting 4 this one!

Tom Budles from Hot Springs National Park, AR

Tried this for supper t'nite. Pretty good! Just plain food. I made it pizza~like w/ mini pepperoni, bell pep and onion and 1 tsp of cajun seasoning blend. Layering flavors might help:: Maybe if you toss the thawed potatoes in seasoning & a little melted butter::(garlic, basil, thyme etc.)
BEST BREAKFAST/ LUNCH/SUPPER /BRUNCH

ann novick from Nw Hampshire

As empty nesters( only 2 adults @ home to feed now)the number of servings as originally submitted was just too much for us. I cut the recipe way down ( made only one fourth of it). We both really loved it. I make it ahead of time, cool, cover & keep it chilled. At serving time either one of us can slice a portion or two off & microwave reheat it. Grab a beverage; a piece of fruit and a few cookies for a perfect "finally home after a day full of busy-ness: shopping, misc appointments or volunteering When the (six) grands visit. the FULL RECIPE will be made & enjoyed by all; while still having plenty of time for visiting & having fun. This is the recipe I've been looking for all my married life.
Easy peasy

Joell McDonald from

I am not that fond of hash browns, but my husband loves them. So I tried this for something different for breakfast. Even the kids loved it. We put salsa on top and that gave it a great little kick. Thanks for this quick easy recipe.
hash brown casserole

karol dalton from oh

These are the best hash browns I have ever tasted and they are so simple to make. The family just loves them.
Great for a Sunday Morning

Wm haver from ocala florida

Nice for a meatless dinner as well as a brunch food. Substituted the Southwestern stlye hash browns for the regular ones for a little extra punch of flaver and added some crumbled bacon. Yummy!!!
Rather Bland

Cathy Horton from Fort Mill, SC

I followed the recipe with the exception of the 2 changes listed below. I used 1 lb of bulk breakfast sausage instead of ham or bacon. I also used 7 extra large eggs. All in all, we found this to be rather bland. It was ok but I don't think I'll be making it again.
KIDS GO WILD

DEBBIE LINDSEY from Venice, CA

WOW!!! MY KIDS WENT WILD OVER THIS ONE, THEY WANT IT EVERY DAY, I LOVE IT TOO!!
Hash Brown Casserole

JUDY WHITE STURTEVANT STURTEVANT from Gautier, MS

I'm a potato lover, so this recipe was a pleasure to try. My family enjoyed the variation from the usual hash brown servings, so I know we will prepare this again and again as a breakfast favorite.
Great dish for any occasion

Donna Barrett from Chase, KS

This casserole gets rave reviews for every event I have served it. It's great when I have company because it can be made the night before and pop it in the oven in the morning.
easy breakfast

rachael ruiz from Sanger, CA

I made this for our cousins who spent the night last weekend and it was perfect and easy to make when you have guests in the house. I used canadian bacon because we do not care for turkey bacon, and canadian bacon is very low fat, since we are trying to watch our weight. Easy clean up too compared to a big greasy breakfast!!
Awesome Hash Casserole

Gretchen Christman from Danville, NH

Great recipe. I used sausage instead of bacon. Yummy.
Wow!

a bird from Canton, MI

Great weekend breakfast. Liked it so well, tried it "Mexican" - using roasted green chilies instead of green peppers & sausage for ham. And made it all with vegetarian "meats"! Will make over and over...
Hash Brown Caserole

Rachelle Young from Mustang, OK

Awesome recipe! One I will have to try.
Can't go wrong potatoes

Rebecca Byers from Butler, PA

I made this on Easter and everyone loved it, including my picky husband. It has already been requested for the next family gathering.
Great recipe

Richard Wadas from ORD, NE

I made this only used some cooked suasage in it. Kids loved it and finished all their plates for a change.
WORK DAY TREAT

LYNN FLEURE from Perrysburg, OH

WHAT A GREAT EASY WAY TO SURPRISE WORK FRIENDS WITH BREAKFAST. EVERYONE LOVED IT AND IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN EASIER TO MAKE
pretty good

Jenn Larabee from Herriman, UT

For some reason my casserole seemed a bit crumbly. I think I must have use a tad too many hashbrowns or needed a few more eggs. I think next time I'll add 2 more eggs & a bit more salt.
Simple, simple, simple

Roxann Clute from Cohoes, NY

What a great recipe to get the kids involved with. This was so easy to make. The only thing that could have made it better was for it to get done faster, they had a hard time waiting. It was delicious!!!!!

sylvia waggoner from WINSTON SALEM, NC

Hash Brown Casserole

maryellen kerin from Rockaway, NJ

Seemed to be missing something. Easy to make, but my family kept asking me if I forgot something. Do not eat eggs so ? Looked great, smelled wonderful, was very much like making a quiche
SO SIMPLE

lupita gowman from GDL

THIS RECIPE IS VERY GOOD AND SIMPLE.
Very Bland

Marilyn Hernandez from Holiday, FL

My husband just told me it was his turn to bring the office breakfast, so I thought I would try this 5 star rated recipe. I added green chilies in hopes of making it tastier, and baked a small portion for myself to try. This tastes like nothing, very bland. I am sending salsa with it to the office, but will not make it again.
So good!

Jasmine Brown from Oceanside, CA

I have made a similar variation @ my MOPS group for church. It was super last minute but so easy to prepare. Popped it in the oven while getting the kiddos ready!
Hashbrowns Easy & Yummy

Diane Wajda from Muncie, IN

Not only is this a very simple recipe to make, it is easy to modify and make it your own. You can add chicken instead of the bacon. I have even added broccoli.
Fantastic

Jayne Dimas from Avondale, AZ

This dish was very good and very simple and fast to make. I will be making this on friday for our schools' potluck!!
Fantastic Brunch

Judy Housekeeper from Lawrenceville, GA

This is a wonderful, delicious recipe for brunch. It is great to take to a "bring a dish to pass" brunch, lunch, or buffet dinner. It is a favorite of my very particular husband!
