I'm on the search for a new breakfast casserole recipe. Anyone have one that is a favorite with a crowd? The third grade team is hosting breakfast Wednesday morning at school (for our staff of near 80! ah!) and I'd like to take one that I've made before and something new. Any ideas would be great. For the old one, I'm either going to make an egg cheese souflee or an apple sausage bake depending on what the second dish is.

Thanks!?

I've never made a breakfast casserole, but I have had an awesome stuff french toast casserole at a bridal shower brunch.  It was french toast, cream cheese, and either apple sauce or jelly, then another layer of french toast.  I'm thinking you may be able to make it easy by using frozen french toast.

I got this recipe from a training client and I made it when we did our breakfast at the Ronald McDonald house and it was a big hit.  I used turkey sausage and sharp cheddar cheese for mine.

I made this Amish Breakfast Casserole from Allrecipes.com for Christmas. We have tried several and this was by far our favorite. I didn't have hash browns so had to improvise with broken tator tots, and it was still good!

1 pound sliced bacon, diced 1 medium sweet onion, chopped 6 eggs, lightly beaten 4 cups frozen shredded hash brown

potatoes, thawed 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese 1 1/2 cups small curd cottage cheese 1 1/4 cups shredded Swiss cheese

1.	In a large skillet, cook bacon and onion until bacon is crisp; drain. In a bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; stir in bacon mixture. Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish.
2.	Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes or until set and bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

My mom made an egg casserole for Christmas morning that was a hit, even with me.  I was very skeptical as I normally don't like that stuff but she had eggs, red peppers, sausage, and a few other things in it and it was surprisingly good. 

She also made homemade sticky buns with raisins that were delicious.

Thanks for all of the ideas, now I need to narrow it down! KeriMichelle, that recipe looks so quick and easy, which might be nice for before work!

I usually take frozen shredded hash browns and cover the bottom of a 9x13 glass baking dish.  Then I cook some loose sausage (one of those tubes of jimmy dean or something like that) and then combine it with egg beaters (enough to equate 10ish eggs) and some sharp cheddar and pour it over the hash browns.  Then I put more cheese on top and bake until it's done (I guess 30 minutes).  I know, I have a real science to it don't I....
