What could be yummier than a bacon sausage egg casserole with potatoes and cheese?
Not much, folks, not much.
What I really like about this egg casserole is that it looks impressive but it uses common refrigerator, freezer and pantry staples, one of my favorites being Better Than Bouillon. Yes, I did buy it the first time as part of a sponsored campaign, but I like it so well that I’ve been buying it ever since. Seriously!
Have you ever made a recipe and you think it’s missing “something”? Try adding Better Than Bouillon to help boost the flavor of your food!
My favorite Better Than Bouillon flavor is Roasted Chicken.
I never have to buy chicken broth for my favorite recipes anymore because I can make my own in seconds with Better Than Bouillon. It’s a paste, not a powder so it dissolves soooooo much easier and I just keep it in my fridge between uses.
It’s super easy to use and integrate into your favorite dishes, and it really helps your meals come to life with delicious flavor. One of my favorite ways to use it is in casseroles and it works beautifully in this loaded breakfast casserole.
I add it to the roux and it brings a warm, hearty robust flavor to the breakfast bake.
Betcha never thought to use Better Than Bouillon in egg casserole before, did ya? It’s a game-changer, y’all.
My family couldn’t stop oohing and aahing over the taste. Positively scrumptious!
Enjoy!
Make-Ahead Breakfast Bake Directions
Prepare as directed but instead of baking, cover tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate until ready to bake. Make sure to preheat oven and allow a few extra minutes of bake time as ingredients will be starting out cold instead of hot.
