Despite busy work and after-school schedules, we sit down to a family dinner every single night. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not always a big dinner. Sometimes, it’s only sandwiches or something quick and easy. But, we sit down as a family and eat together.
It’s the time when we can talk about our day, share what we’ve accomplished and get a game plan for the evening ahead.
It’s been proven that family meals eaten at home have health and wellness, including fighting obesity, substance abuse and making families stronger. One simple thing, like eating together as a family can have a great impact on our communities and nation as a whole.
I try to do the same thing for breakfast, too. Even though mornings can be hectic, sitting down together gives us a chance to talk about our plans for the day and start our day on a less-hectic note.
The mornings can be hectic, though. To help make it easier, I like to have easy or make-ahead breakfast recipe. This Bacon Hash Brown Casserole is perfect.
I can assemble it the night before and bake it in the morning. Or, if I’m running short on time, I can bake it the night before too.
The star of this recipe is the bacon. I used Hormel BLACK LABEL® Bacon.
It comes in several varieties including, fully cooked bacon, thick cut bacon & Canadian bacon. And Hormel never compromises on quality or taste.
I like to serve this casserole with scrambled eggs and toast for a hearty breakfast. But, it also makes a great side dish for dinner, too.

I never made it that far in advance, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t keep. Let me know how you make out. Merry Christmas!
