Breakfast casserole

Step 1

To make this egg casserole, start by sautéing the bacon in a large skillet. Since the bacon doesn’t need to be in strips, I like to cut it up with kitchen scissors or a knife before adding it to the skillet. This saves me the step of chopping after it’s cooked, plus it fits better and cooks more evenly in the skillet.

Step 2

When the bacon is cooked, scoop it out and let it drain on paper towels. Pour all of the bacon grease except for a tablespoon into a small bowl, you can discard it after it cools. Add the onion and pepper to the skillet and sauté for a couple minutes. Season with a little salt and pepper and add in the garlic, sautéing for another minute.

Step 3

Let the vegetables cool while you grate the sweet potato and make the egg mixture. I peeled the skin off my sweet potato and used the large holes on a box grater to grate it. In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, paprika, hot sauce, sliced green onions and shredded cheese. Pour the onion and pepper mixture along with the sweet potato in with the eggs. Stir everything together and pour it into a 9×13 casserole dish lightly sprayed with cooking spray.

Step 4

Yes. This is a great casserole to make the night before. In the morning be sure to allow 30-60 minutes for the casserole to come to room temperature before baking it in the oven.

Step 5

The Sweet Potato, Bacon and Egg Breakfast Casserole takes approximately 40 minutes to bake or until the center is set and doesn’t jiggle anymore. If you find that it’s getting too brown on top cover it loosely with a piece of foil. I did this during the last 10 minutes of cooking time.

Step 6

Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving. I suggest serving it with either the Cranberry Apple French Toast Casserole that I mentioned earlier, Cranberry Orange Muffins or this Cranberry Maple Pecan Baked Oatmeal. And don’t forget the Cranberry Orange Mimosas! The casserole also reheats well and is excellent for breakfast or lunch the next day.
