Ingredients
1-pound bacon
2 medium (2-1/2″ dia)s onions, chopped
2 cups fresh sliced mushrooms

1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon garlic salt

How to Make Holiday Brunch Casserole
Step 1: Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until greasy and crispy. Drain the grease and place the bacon on a clean plate.
Step 2: Saute the onion and mushrooms in the same skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the onion is translucent and the mushrooms tender and soft.
Step 3: Use butter to grease a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish.
Step 4: At the bottom of the prepared dish, arrange the potatoes and season with garlic salt, salt, and pepper. Grab the cooked bacon and crumble over. Top with mushrooms and onions.
Step 5: Combine the milk, eggs, and parsley in a medium mixing bowl until incorporated.
Step 6: Add the egg mixture into the casserole and sprinkle over the grated cheese. Use a plastic wrap to cover the casserole and set in the fridge overnight.
Step 7: When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 200 degrees C or 400 degrees F.
Step 8: Uncover the casserole and place it inside the preheated oven. Bake for about an hour.
Step 9: Allow cooling at room temperature before serving. Enjoy!
Note:
This is an excellent make-ahead dish but you can cook it the same day. Just set the baking time to 45 minutes.
