I don't do mornings casserole

For a simple throw-it-together breakfast, whether you're expecting family for breakfast, or know you'll be too hungover in the morning to make something, this is a casserole that is easy to make, and easy to modify, depending on your tastes.

Frozen hash browns (once again, amount depends on how many you're feeding)
Eggs - probably 6-12, depending on size of casserole
Veggies: mushrooms (I'm not a fan, but if you like 'em, add 'em!), chopped bell peppers, chopped onion...and whatever else you want!
Meat: cook some sausage, bacon, ham, or chorizo
Cheese: whatever type you like. Mix it in the mixture, or just throw it on top while it's cooking. Up to you.
Sauces: if you like it spicy, throw some Tabasco in...
Toppings: cheese, green onions, left over bacon bits or meat

Preheat oven to 350.

Layer a casserole dish with the hash browns (about half of the pan); mix veggies and cooked meat together, then pour egg, spices, sauces, cheese into the veggie/meat mixture. Mix well. Pour egg/veggie/meat/cheese mix over the hash browns. Add toppings.

The casserole is best if made the night before, but still good the morning of!

Put it into the oven for about 30 min to 1 hour (depends on how large a casserole you're making). It should be done when the top is golden and bubbly.

Let sit about 5-10 minutes after it's done, then serve.

Serving suggestions: salsa, more cheese, sour cream, green onions, avocado...whatever you desire!

Enjoy!!
