All-In-One Egg Casserole

Submitted by diner524

"A recipe that I found at Taste of Home that I can't wait to try, will update once I have made it. Here is what the author states: "I've had this unique recipe for years. It's always a hit at our house because it combines eggs, bacon, cheese, vegetables and bread all in one pan. I enjoy cooking for my husband of 31 years, two sons, one daughter and two grandsons." I will probably leave the mushrooms out due to other family members not liking them."

Great recipe and VERY filling! I cut it down to serve two and they were large servings. I used a 8 x 8 inch pan and did it in my "toaster" oven. We had it as a supper. I think it would be very versatile too, by using crumbled turkey sausage or chopped ham or Canadian bacon. This is going into my "Best of 2013" book.
