Breakfast casseroles are one of our favorite ways to enjoy a family breakfast. And when I realized that we had 6 dozen eggs in our refrigerator (how does that even happen?) I decided we would be having breakfast casseroles for dinner, too!

Our family’s traditional breakfast casserole recipe has sausage in it. I didn’t have any sausage handy, but I had bacon. Lots and lots of bacon. So I put some of that delicious bacon right in this breakfast casserole. Along with plenty of melty Cheddar cheese.

If you don’t have time to put this casserole together in the morning, you can always prep it the night before! Get everything ready in the casserole dish, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Take it out of the refrigerator when you turn on the oven so it can warm up a little bit. It will take a little longer to bake, but it will still be cheesy and delicious!

Enjoy!
