Bacon and Egg Breakfast Casserole

"When my sister and I were young, we’d often head up to my grandparents’ house in upstate South Carolina for Spring Break every year. It was only a short 4-hour drive from Charleston, although I still made sure to pack enough car activities to keep me entertained for days. One of my favorite activities? Getting out a big map of South Carolina and actually following our path with my finger as we drove north. I’d anticipate the turns and how long til the next exit. I was a weird kid. Fast forward to mornings at Grandma’s house. My grandparents had a huge backyard complete with a barn, a chicken coop, a pool and tons of magnolia trees that were perfect for climbing. To prepare for a day of exploring, we always started with a delicious breakfast! One of my favorites was Grandma’s hash brown casserole. This casserole was filled with chopped potatoes, eggs and bacon…and it was delicious! I’m surprised I don’t have a photo somewhere of 8-year-old me chowing down on a slice of that casserole."
