Notes
You can swap out the meat you use for this recipe, we recommend bacon, diced ham, or sausage. You will need 1 pound (or 2 cups) of your preferred meat.
This recipe is also great to plan ahead for the week with! Cover the casserole with foil and refrigerate overnight for an easy breakfast in the morning! To cook, bake for 50 minutes at 350ºF while still COVERED with the foil. Then, uncover the foil and bake an additional 20-25 minutes until the eggs have set and and the top is golden brown around the edges.
