Breakfast Casserole Recipe?
#11
  Re: (...)
Does anyone have a wonderful, tried and true breakfast casserole? I need to bring one for a family gathering. Something really yummy. No kids will be eating this, just adults. My SIL is bringing her sausage Wake-Up Casserole from Taste of Home. It's at every family gathering. I like it, but I have had it so many times. I'd like to make something that will really WOW them.

I have done online searches and there are plenty of recipes but I really trust everyone's taste here. Any ideas?

My good friend makes this yummy Paula Deen one, it goes in the fridge overnite and bakes the next morning. It's got this wonderful praline type topping. I will post it if you'd like.

Mine is probably like your SIL's. But I'm liking the looks of Karyn's and would love to see the Paula Deen one for a sweet.

from a 1975 A&P cookbook and shopping guide

8 slices of bacon
2 onions, sliced
12 slices white bread, quartered
1/2 swiss cheese shredded
8 eggs
4 cups milk
1.5 t salt
.24 t. pepper

Cook bacon until crisp; remove from pan. Cook onion in bacon drippings until soft. Spread half of the bread in the botton of a greased 9 x 13 inch pan. Sprinkle with half the bacon (crumbled), onions, and cheese. Repeat layers. Combine eggs, milk, sald and pepper; pour egg mixture over top layer in pan. Refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight. Bake in 350 oven 45 to 50 minutes, until puffed and set. Makes 8 servings.

What I love about this is you can substitute any kind of bread and cheese and liquid you like. And you can prepare it the evening before and cook it in the am.

Thank you, thank you. I knew I could count on this bunch! I may just have to try all of them over the next few weeks. With the holidays, you never know who you are going to have for company.

I would love to see the one for Paula Deen too. She makes good comfort food. Not sure how I am going to transport this. We have to drive several hours. There is no stove, just a micro. I believe I will have cook it, chill it, and reheat it by the piece.

Oh the things you do for family.

I love the apple chedda bread pudding! You can take it out while it's piping hot, wrap it in foil and then put a few towels around it and it'll be warm when you arrive which is how it should be served

4 eggs
2 cups whole milk
1 cup sugar
3 Tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon plus more to sprinkle
1/8 teaspoon salt
7 slices firm white bread (crusts removed, cut into cubes)
1 large apple (peeled, cored and cubed)
2/3 cup grated cheddar cheese (preferably Vermont)

Oven to 350. Butter an 8 inch square pan. In large bowl whisk eggs - add sugar, milk, melted butter, cinnamon and salt. Whisk again until sugar is dissolved. Add bread, apple and cheese and gently stir to combine. Put in buttered dish and bake 35 - 40 minutes until golden and set all the way through. Dust with additional cinnamon and serve warm with warmed New Hampshire Maple Syrup. Dust with confectioner sugar.

I make this and double it and put in a 9 X 13 glass pan.
