All week long I had been wanting a lazy weekend, but I knew it wasn't going to happen. Saturday morning a guy was coming to cut a tree that was half uprooted during a recent storm. Then Saturday evening company was coming over for dinner...On Friday night our dinner plans got cancelled. Then the guy cutting the tree couldn't make it...Yay! So I get my lazy weekend...and boy did I deserve it...Last week work was rough.
To kick off my lazy weekend I made this breakfast casserole. The recipe came from Lizzy (That Skinny Chick Can Bake). It's delicious and easy to make...and what better way to start your weekend off to the smell of bacon...oh eating it.
Bacon and Eggs Breakfast Casserole
adapted from That Skinny Chick Can Bake
4 cups seasoned croutons, from two 5-oz packages
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
8 eggs, beaten
1 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
3 green onions, tops only, thinly sliced
4 cups milk
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/8 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp kosher salt
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. In a well greased 9 x 13 pan, place the croutons in the bottom and top with the cheddar cheese, diced bell pepper, onions, and crumbles bacon. In a bowl whisk together the remaining ingredients and pour over top of the croutons. Bake until the eggs are set, at least an hour. Serve warm.
*This could be made the night before. Prepare the casserole and cover and refrigerate overnight. In the morning uncover and bake at 325 degrees for about 1 & 1/2 hours.
I love starting the weekend with a nice breakfast meal. Love this recipe.

ReplyDeleteThe casserole looks so comforting and delicious.. you had me at bacon!!
I need a lazy weekend! Breakfast casseroles are a favorite at our house, and this recipe sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love breakfast casseroles. Whether the base is oatmeal or eggs, they are quite frequently eaten in my home. Anything that can be prepped the night before and then tossed into a cold oven has my vote. Glad you were able to enjoy a lazy weekend after all!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! Breakfast is my fave meal and I have to try this casserole. Glad you had a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteI saw this one Lizzy's blog too and wanted to make it! Yours looks just as good - hopefully I'll get my own lazy weekend soon!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! Great breakfast to start off the day!
ReplyDeleteLizzy is the best! Looks fantastic and I'm usre it tastes insane. Yup, I could definitely go for this in the morning.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice breakfast casserole you made! I love breakfast and this dish is such a nice way to start a day!
ReplyDeleteI might have to bookmark this recipe. It would be the perfect dish to make for holiday mornings and times when you're rushed. I like the use of croutons.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea. Why didn't I think of it. I think this is a better idea for brunch, not early breakfast. But I love it. Thanks for posting this. Will be making this asap. :) Bookmarked.
ReplyDeletewow the casserole absolutely looks like a fresh lazy morning!
ReplyDeletewishing you many more lazy weekends!
Fantastic! MG and I are big breakfast bugs but he usually handles them. I'm gonna knock his socks of with this.
ReplyDeleteAnd may I suggest for your lazy weekend listening the album, Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim.
Thanks!
