I&#8217;m looking for things like this casserole that will stretch your budget and keep your people happy and full. Also, it&#8217;s easy enough to make this and other dishes like it. In winter, we all want good, hot food when we come in from the triumphant ending of a Snowball War in the Front Yard Zone, don&#8217;t we?<\/p>\n<p>Some of the ingredients, such as bacon and the hash browns, can be prepped the night before and stored covered in the fridge.\u00a0 Now, obviously, you&#8217;ll be putting other dishes on the table or buffet, so you only need to decide what, and how much, needs to be added. Keep the bread fresh in the fridge for toasting in the morning, and throw in some of your favorite biscuits while you&#8217;re at it.<\/p>\n<p>If this doesn&#8217;t keep the little bacon pickers happy, nothing will.<\/p>\n<h4>Ingredients<\/h4>\n<p>1 lb bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces<\/p>\n<p>1 medium onion, chopped (1\/2 cup)<\/p>\n<p>1 medium red bell pepper, chopped (3\/4 cup)<\/p>\n<p>1 package (8 oz) sliced fresh mushrooms<\/p>\n<p>2 tablespoons Dijon mustard<\/p>\n<p>1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/p>\n<p>1\/2 teaspoon pepper<\/p>\n<p>3\/4 cup milk<\/p>\n<p>12 eggs<\/p>\n<p>1 package (2 lb) frozen hash browns, thawed<\/p>\n<p>2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (16 oz)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In 12-inch skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Using slotted spoon. Remove from pan to small bowl. Cover and refrigerate. Drain drippings, reserving 1 tablespoon in pan. Add onion, bell pepper and mushrooms; cook 4 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Stir in mustard, salt and pepper. In large bowl, beat milk and eggs with wire whisk.<\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<li>Spray 13&#215;9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray. Spread half of hash browns in baking dish. Spread onion mixture evenly on top. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the cheese. Spread remaining hash browns over top. Pour egg mixture on top. Cover; refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.<\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<li>Heat oven to 325\u00b0F. Uncover; bake 50 to 60 minutes or until thermometer inserted in center reads 160\u00b0F. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese and the bacon. Bake 3 to 5 minutes longer or until knife inserted in center comes out clean, top is puffed and cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Use Monterey Jack, Colby or Swiss for the Cheddar cheese.<\/p>\n<p>Serve with assorted breads and fresh fruit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This one is something I posted a while back, but it&#8217;s still a good dish if &hellip; <a title=\"Thursdays Are (Still) For Cooking!\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=122717\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Thursdays Are (Still) For Cooking!<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":653,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[485,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-122717","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cooking","category-economy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122717","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/653"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=122717"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122717\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":122718,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122717\/revisions\/122718"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=122717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=122717"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=122717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
