Oh, the casserole. A long-loved (by many) entree that enables the cook to basically dump a whole bunch of ingredients into a baking dish and a short time later – voila! A delicious, flavorful meal awaits. My mom definitely knew how to rock the casserole. Many nights for dinner we would enjoy casseroles as the main dish and sometimes, as a side dish. We had casseroles with green beans, casseroles with broccoli, casseroles with pasta and beef or sausage… Every once in awhile she would make a classic tuna melt casserole and sometimes she would just get creative with any number of foods that needed to be used up from the fridge.
Many years on Christmas morning, she would make a breakfast casserole similar to the recipe I am sharing today. I don’t remember the exact ingredient list and I wish that I could find her recipe. But I know that she called it a “3 Cheese Ham Puff” and it contained eggs, pork roll, and yes, three different kinds of cheese. It was delicious and ever since early childhood, I have loved just about every breakfast casserole I have tasted.
This loaded breakfast casserole recipe is truly LOADED with your very favorite breakfast foods – even bagels!! How fun is that?!
