Why You’ll Love This Breakfast Casserole

Whether you’re prepping for a weekend brunch or serving up brinner (breakfast for dinner!), this casserole is a one-dish wonder. It’s perfect for feeding a hungry family or serving to guests.

The casserole is super easy to make, with only six ingredients. It’s a lifesaver if you need to bring a brunch dish somewhere and don’t have much time to cook. 

Bacon broccoli tot casserole also reheats beautifully! You can make it as a breakfast meal prep option for busy mornings or lunches. Heck, you could even slice it up and stick it between two toasted English muffins for a breakfast sandwich. 

Not to mention, it’s a great way to eat some veggies early in the day — without really noticing them at all. (Thanks to all the cheese and bacon!)

Ingredient Spotlight: Bacon!

For this recipe, I recommend cutting the bacon into larger 2-inch pieces. It’s like stumbling upon a little bacon present with every bite! 

I think my husband about fell over dead when he saw that I bought a 3-pound pack of bacon from Costco. It was worth it.
