(I got this recipe from Fix It Quick – Favorite Brand Name Casseroles)

NOTE : You can use cholesterol-free egg product. You can use turkey bacon or no meat. My dad, Poppy, would like twice the amount of meat if he made it. Don’t forget, those shredded has brown potatoes go on sale about every 6 weeks – buy one get one free. They freeze well, so stock up!

ALSO, this recipe halves well, just use a square glass dish to bake. It refrigerates well and microwaves well (but you want to eat it within a few days). I prep the items the evening before and Rich assembles it and bakes it for us – a great company dish for breakfast with a little fruit on the side.
