Breakfast Egg Casserole
Another inexpensive brunch dish from my mom's cookbook. This one is great because you make it the night before, then let it sit in the refrigerator. Then bake it the next morning. And, it's frugal because you can use old, leftover bread in the dish. The recipe gives amounts of vegetables to use, but feel free to substitute any leftover veggies you might want to add. Enjoy!
BREAKFAST EGG CASSEROLE
1 large onion
3 celery stalks, sliced
1 green pepper, diced
4 ounces mushrooms, sliced
2 tbsp. margarine
6 eggs
2 cups milk
1 can cream of mushroom soup
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
8 bread slices, cubed
Saute vegetables in margarine until soft. Put vegetables on the bottom of a 9x13 pan. In a large bowl, beat eggs, then add milk and mix. Add the rest of the ingredients to the egg mixture, making sure to soak all of the bread in the mixture. Pour egg and bread mixture over the vegetables in the pan. Cover the pan with foil and refrigerate overnight. The next morning, bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour, uncovered, or until lightly browned.

We had guests for brunch this past weekend and that recipe would have been a very nice addition to the menu. I will have to give it a try.
I have all the ingredients on hand, so I think this is going on the lunch menu for tomorrow. Thanks for posting the recipe.

Another egg recipe,Thanks for sharing!
This sounds fabulous! I love tasty breakfast dishes! :)
I love having brunch recipes. I think brunch is my favorite meal. Thanks.
This looks like some serious comfort food! I think I will give this a try.
Oh I love a good breakfast casserole recipe particularly to use this time of year....perfect for guests! Really going to enjoy using this one.

I love things I can make the day before when I have guests--it makes life so much easier to just stick it in the oven instead of doing all that prep work in the morning. I have a similar casserole that I'm going to make the day after Thanksgiving, when my parents will be spending the night here. I even have the bread now that I can cube up now and freeze in preparation.
Great ideas--thanks for linking this recipe to Food on Fridays!
Sounds like a pretty simply yet hearty recipe. Thanks for sharing it!
Yum - I'm always on the lookout for a great breakfast casserole - thanks for sharing!
Sounds like a great recipe! I love that it is make ahead, and also that you can use up leftover bread in it!
Yum! I love breakfast casseroles. At that hour, I'm just not really in the mood to cook anything complicated!
This sounds delicious. I am a breakfast/brunch person but I could eat this for dinner, easily. Nothing makes me happier than breakfast for dinner.
Thanks for linking this to My Meatless Mondays.

This looks good. I bet it's easy to make variations switching up the soup (e.g., cream of broccoli or cauliflower).
That is a twist on my breakfast casserole and I love the addition of the veggies. Thanks for posting.
I love the breakfast casserole for when we have company or just an evening meal for us.

This would be a great recipe for Christmas morning! We're all so busy opening presents and cleaning up the mess from them that no one wants to cook.
How nice it would be to have something already prepared that just needs to be popped in the oven.

I love when i don't have to think about meals, and just pull them out of the fridge. :)
