A hearty breakfast is a “must have” on Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day. Those days when you’ll be waiting for dinner .  .  . maybe Easter Day, too. I’m not picky — this is a great breakfast casserole you can make any time.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Grease an 8 ounce square baking dish.
3. Layer 1/2 of the potatoes, 1/2 the chopped onion, 1/2 the crumbled bacon and 1/2 the cheese.
4. Repeat for the remaining potatoes, onion, bacon and cheese.
5. Combine the egg and milk in a small bowl.
6. Pour evenly over potatoes, etc. in the baking dish.
