WAKE-UP CASSEROLE - CANADIAN BACON



Wake-Up Casserole - Canadian Bacon image

The original recipe is delicious, but this is my healthier version, with less fat and calories. It also freezes beautifully and individual portions can be reheated in 3 minutes in the microwave. As a single person, I can't eat 8 portions at one sitting, so I divide and freeze. But it's great if family visits, because I can have the portions ready to reheat, and it's also great if you're in a hurry in the morning and don't have time to cook before heading off to work.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 Tbsp butter, divided
3 c chopped veggies such as peppers, onions, and broccoli florets or whatever you choose
8 large eggs
2 c milk
2 c shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 bag(s) (16 oz.) frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
8 slice crisp bacon, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Melt 7 Tbsp. butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 8 minutes.
  • 2. Whisk eggs with milk in a large bowl. Add 1-1/2 cups cheese, the cooked vegetables, potatoes, and bacon; stir well.
  • 3. Pour into a 13x9" baking dish that has been buttered with 1 Tbsp. of the butter.
  • 4. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated 350º oven for 45 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese and bake 30 minutes more, or until eggs are thoroughly cooked.

Tips:

  • Use day-old bread: Stale bread will absorb the egg mixture better and result in a more cohesive casserole.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour and make the casserole tough.
  • Let the casserole rest before baking: This will allow the bread to soak up the egg mixture and prevent the casserole from being too dry.
  • Bake the casserole until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the casserole is cooked through.
  • Serve the casserole immediately: Wake-up casserole is best served hot out of the oven.
