This is my go to casserole for an easy breakfast that everyone loves. Easy to make in advance and then pop in the oven when ready to eat. Easily modifiable to add veggies, a different cheese, or make it with bacon or ham, or veggies instead. It seems like a new recipe every time!

Notes
I’ve modified this several times over the years, it works well with diced ham or chopped cooked bacon, adding drained green chilies, chopped green onion, or your choice of vegetable. If adding a vegetable that is moisture laden like mushrooms, cut the milk back a bit maybe 2 tablespoons to compensate.
If you want to make in advance, cook for 50 minutes, cool and refrigerate. When ready to eat, take out of fridge for 30 minutes, then put in oven while it is preheating to slowly bring up temperature. Bake covered until bubbling, about 30 minutes, then bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
I love using the simply potatoes hash-browns, and Mexican blend or triple cheddar cheese.
