Christmas Brunch Casserole

By LETSEAT

The title says it all—prepare on Christmas Eve and bake on Christmas morning. It might just be the best present under the tree, at least to your tastebuds.

Ingredients

• Ingredients
• 1 lb. bacon
• 1 tbsp. butter
• 2 onions, chopped
• 2 cups fresh sliced mushrooms
• 4 cups frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. garlic salt
• 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 pinch dried parsley
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 9×13 in. casserole dish.
Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain and set aside. In a separate skillet, melt the butter and fry onions and mushrooms until tender.
Place potatoes in bottom of prepared dish. Sprinkle with salt, garlic salt, and pepper. Top with bacon, then onions and mushrooms.
In a large bowl, beat eggs with milk and parsley. Pour over casserole. Top with grated cheese. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour or until set. If preparing and baking the same day, cook for 45 minutes.
