Sumptuous Breakfast Casserole
Our mother taught us that meals bring families together. Â Food has always been an important part of family get-togethers so this weekend when the three sisters and their husbands came together, we cooked, ate and drank our way through three days of joy.
We shared cooking duties. Â Pat and I planned meals. Â Carol planned beverages. Â We will all be sharing our favorites from the weekend over the next days.
I will start with my breakfast casserole. Â There are many similar recipes on the internet but this is my spin on a delicious dish that can be prepared the morning of or ahead of time and refrigerated before baking in the morning.

Ingredients
- 1 lb bacon (or cubed ham or sausage)
- 4-5 c crusty bread cubed (I use my Crusty Bread recipe)
- 1/2 c butter melted
- 2 c cheese grated
- 8 eggs
- 1 c milk
- 1/2 c half and half (or use another 1/2 c milk)
- 1/2 c sour cream
- salt and pepper
Servings:
Instructions
- Heat oven to 325 degrees (unless you are making this the night before). Grease a 9x13 pan. Cook your meat of choice.
- Cut bread into 3/4 inch cubes. Pretty much cover the bottom of the greased baking dish with bread cubes. Just toss them in to cover, don't go arranging them.
- Pour the melted butter over the cubes, Give the cubes a bit of a toss so each has some of that buttery goodness.Cover with the shredded cheese.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, half and half, and sour cream. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour the egg mixture over those cheesy cubes in the pan.
- Sprinkle the bacon pieces (or other meat) over the top. I mince some parsley and sprinkle it on but that is just me and is highly optional.
- Cover with foil. Bake for 45 minutes then remove the foil and bake another 15 minutes.
- Serve. (Stand back...there will be a stampede for the table!)
