Mother’s Day is coming up and nothing says mom like casseroles.
My amazing mom didn’t grow up on as many casseroles as my dad, as she was one of six kids and casseroles are essential to feeding a large group. This casserole is an easy dish to impress for mother’s day brunch, feed a large family or group, or even to make as meal prep for the week.
If you haven’t made a casserole, think of it as an omelet but without the omelet part. Another way to consume eggs with cheese, meat, and veggies. Casseroles are one of those foods that are always good to have in your back pocket for any sort of gathering. They aren’t much fuss, but still seem a bit fancy. This recipe is a simple casserole recipe and is paired with the best bacon fat potatoes. Because if I’ve learned one thing from cooking bacon is that you NEVER get rid of the grease. After you toss in the bacon in your casserole, reserve some for putting on top of your casserole and save the fat to make the breakfast potatoes.
