A versatile loaded overnight breakfast casserole dish that can be easy to prep, (pre-cooked meats, pre-shredded cheese) and be made more wholesome (fat-free dairy, turkey breakfast meats). Personally, I saute my ham and sausage in bacon grease!

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the casserole will taste. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and cheese for the best results.
Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs should be cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.
Use a variety of ingredients: Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add different vegetables, meats, or cheeses to create a unique and delicious casserole.
Make it ahead of time: Breakfast casserole is a great make-ahead dish. You can make it the night before and store it in the refrigerator overnight. Then, just bake it in the morning.
Serve with your favorite toppings: Breakfast casserole is delicious on its own, but it's even better with your favorite toppings. Try serving it with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.

Conclusion:

Breakfast casserole is a delicious, easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a crowd. With so many different variations, there's sure to be a breakfast casserole that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying breakfast, give breakfast casserole a try.
