Check out Paul Deens's Hasbrown casserole. She was on Oprah the other day and made it and it looked so good that I got the ingredients and made it and everyone liked it (even my very picky daughter).

This is our Christmas casserole every year. We sometimes use ham instead of sausage if we have it on hand.

Ingredients
1 pound ground pork sausage
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups milk
6 slices white bread, cut into cubes
8 ounces mild Cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions
1.Crumble sausage into a medium skillet. Cook over medium heat until evenly brown; drain.
2.In a medium bowl, mix together mustard powder, salt, eggs and milk. Add the sausage, bread cubes, and cheese, and stir to coat evenly. Pour into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover, and chill in the refrigerator for 8 hours, or overnight.
3.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
4.Cover, and bake 45 to 60 minutes. Uncover, and reduce temperature to 325 degrees F. Bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until set.

This came from the Pepperidge Farm website. I made it last Christmas and it was awesome.


Baked French Swirl Toast

1 loaf (16 ounces) Pepperidge Farm® Cinnamon Swirl Bread, cut into cubes
3/4 cup dried cranberries or Raisins
6 eggs
3 cups half-and-half or milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
Cinnamon-sugar or Confectioners' sugar
Whipped butter
Pure maple syrup


directions
Place the bread cubes and cranberries into a lightly greased 3-quart shallow baking dish. Beat the eggs, half-and-half and vanilla extract in a medium bowl with a fork or whisk. Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes. Stir and press the bread cubes into the egg mixture to coat. Refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.

Bake at 350°F. for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar. Serve with the butter and syrup.

NIGHT BEFORE FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE

1 (10 oz.) loaf long thin French bread (18" long)
8 eggs
3 c. milk
1/4 c. granulated sugar
3/4 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. vanilla
2 tbsp. butter, cut into 5 pats
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Grease 13x9 inch baking pan. Cut bread into 18 one inch slices. Arrange in one layer in pan. Beat eggs, milk, sugar, salt and vanilla in large bowl. Pour over bread in pan. Bread will float. Dot each piece of bread with piece of butter. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Cover and refrigerate overnight or up to 36 hours.
Place dish, uncovered, in cold oven. Turn oven temperature to 350 degrees (325 degrees if glass dish) and bake 45 to 50 minutes or until bread is puffy and light brown. Remove from oven and allow to set 5 minutes. Bread will rise to top with a custard on bottom of dish, similar to a bread pudding. Serve with syrups or powdered sugar.

OVERNIGHT SCRAMBLED EGG CASSEROLE

1 c. cubed ham or Canadian bacon
1/4 c. chopped green onion
3 tbsp. melted butter
1 dozen eggs, beaten
1 (4 oz.) can sliced mushrooms, drained
Cheese Sauce (recipe below)
1/4 c. melted butter
2 1/4 c. soft bread crumbs
1/8 tsp. paprika

Saute ham and green onions in 3 tablespoons butter in large skillet until onion is tender. Add eggs and cook over medium high heat, stirring to form large, soft curds. When eggs are set, stir in mushrooms and cheese sauce. Spoon into greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan. Combine 1/4 cup melted butter and bread crumbs; mix well. Spread evenly over egg mixture. Sprinkle with paprika. Cover and chill casserole overnight. Uncover and bake at 350 degrees 30 minutes. Yields 12 to 15 servings.

CHEESE SAUCE:

2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. flour
2 c. milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 c. (4 oz.) shredded process American cheese

Melt butter in heavy saucepan over low heat; blend in flour and cook 1 minute. Gradually add milk; cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring constantly. Add salt, pepper, and cheese, stirring until cheese melts and mixture is smooth. Yields about 2 1/2 cups.
(I omit the mushrooms because not everyone eats them. It does not change the recipe at all)

Bread (your preference)
1 lb Bacon
1 lb Sausage crumbled (you can also use cubed ham)
6 Eggs Beaten
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 can Milk
2 Cups Colby/Jack Cheese Shredded

Brown Sausage and Bacon separately and drain off fat completely. Cut Bacon into bite size pieces.

I am sure you can add hashbrowns to this if you would like. I'd add those right on top of the bread.

This hash brown recipe is really easy to make and people really like it every time I've taken it to a party. It is rated 4.6 out of 5 stars on All Recipes with hundreds of reviews. If you use one of those Pyrex portables casserole dishes with the heat packs to take it to the party it will stay warm a long time.

Hash Brown Casserole Recipe

Note: I don't add ham. It's good without it. Also, you probably won't find 32 oz packages of hash browns. They have downsized the amount in a package so it has 28-30 oz. It works fine with the smaller amount of hash browns without adjusting the other amounts. If you buy everything in the right size container there is no measuring, just open, dump in a big bowl and stir.

I just wanted to say, that I am LOVING this thread! thanks for starting it.

Now for my recipe: I make a quick breakfast thing not sure if it even has a name, I just made it up one morning when I had to make something to bring to a breakfast pot luck.


Enough Tater Tots to cover the bottom of a pie plate,
8 slices of precooked bacon
onions and peppers
Shreaded cheddar cheese
8 eggs, scrambled, but not cooked

I used a round pie plate and put enough tater tots in to cover the bottom. Bake the tater tots until they are crispy. Cook 8 slices of bacon, and crumble, I used the pre cooked bacon and it worked great. Then in a bit of the bacon fat, cook a few onions and peppers until somewhat done.

Put the Onions and peppers over the cooked tater tots, then cover that with 1/2 of the cheese. Place the cooked bacon pieces over that. Pour the 8 eggs over this and then top with the rest of the shreaded cheese. I also put a couple of the bacon strips on top for decoration. Salt and Pepper for taste.

Bake at 350 until the eggs are set and look done.

It was a hit at the pot luck and everyone asks for it again and again.

Thanks for all the ideas!

Ooh, ooh, this is the one I make!! You must use the cream of potato soup, it makes all the difference. I use more cheese and a bag of teeny tiny diced ham bits that gives the whole thing a smokey flavor.

This recipe is great to make ahead and heat up. I think it came from Southern living magazine.

Bake pie shells at 425 degrees for 7 minutes
Cook and drain sausage add all other ingrediants
Split mixture between the pie shells
Bake at 350 for 40 minutes, until eggs are set and firm

Note: I have used a pound of bacon instead of sausage too

This is modified version of a "Betty Crocker Bisquick II Cookbook" recipe called Do-Ahead Bisquick Bake. A woman I used to work with made this all the time and whenever I make it, everyone loves it!

1 cup diced ham (I used 1/2 pound thick cut black forest ham from the deli counter and chop it)
1 package of Ore Ida Southern Style Hash Browns (or any bag of cubed hash browns)
1 cup chopped bell pepper
1 tablespoon instant chopped onion (I just use a quarter or less of a small onion)
2 cups (8 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup Bisquick
3 cups milk
salt and pepper to taste
4 eggs

For best results, assemble the night before. Can be done at least four hours in advance.

Using a 13x9x2 baking dish, layer potatoes, ham, pepper, onion and 1 cup of cheese in the baking dish.

Stir Bisquick, milk, eggs, salt and pepper in a separate bowl. Pour over the potato mixture, sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover and refrigerate ovrenight.

Bake uncovered at 375 for at least 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown. I find this dish really needs 45 minutes. Let sit for 10-15 minutes then serve.

**I've mad this minus the Bisquick for my FIL who is gluten-free. I think I just added two more eggs. You can substitute any kind of cheese, ham, pepperoni...omit the pepper and onion...lots of possibilities!
