EASY BREAKFAST FOR DINNER CASSEROLE



Easy Breakfast for Dinner Casserole image

We were going out to look at Christmas lights and I needed something hearty but fairly quick to make after coming home from work. Leftovers make a great breakfast!

Provided by Monica Gower

Categories     Other Breakfast

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 eggs
1/2 c milk
1 bag(s) frozen tater tots
2 c shredded cheese
1 bag(s) real bacon bits (2.5 oz)
2 tsp basil, oregano, black pepper, chili powder of each

Steps:

  • 1. Spray 9x13 casserole dish with non stick spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • 2. Arrange frozen tator tots in bottom of casserole dish. Cover with the bacon bits. You can fry your own bacon if you want, but remember, this is the EASY version!
  • 3. Beat eggs well, add milk, and seasonings. I use chili powder in place of salt--my fiance has high blood pressure--it's just enough to flavor without making it hot.
  • 4. Pour egg mixture over the bacon and tots, making sure to cover evenly as possible. DO NOT add the cheese yet!
  • 5. Bake for 45 minutes at 350. You may now add the cheese ( I use mozzarella just because I like it, but any kind can be used). Spread evenly over the baked casserole, and return to the oven for an additional 8-10 minutes, just until your cheese begins to melt and slightly brown. Enjoy with salsa or ketchup.
  • 6. Get creative if you have more time and add sauteed onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, Canadian bacon, sausage, etc.
