    This recipe is great! It's very easy to throw together the night before and pop it in the oven in the morning. I used Fat Free cheese and extra lean ham and it brought the nutrition to: Calories - 160, Fat - 2g, Carb - 19g, Protein - 16g. - 1/31/08

    Good
    I appreciate the lower fat/cholesterol emphasis. We also used sodium reduced t. bacon and Morton Lite salt. Hashbrown bkfast casseroles have not always been a favorite, but this worked for me! - 9/27/14

    Incredible!
    Very good. Can't wait to try it with turkey sausage instead of bacon. - 1/2/11

    Easy to make, and everyone enjoyed it! I added some old bay seasoning to the top of the casserole after it was cooked for some additional flavor. Also, I generally don't like egg beaters, but I did use them for the entire recipe, and no one could tell. =) - 4/5/09

    I make this similar recipe using reduced fat cheese and combination of egg and egg whites since egg beaters tend to have a un natural taste thanks for sharing - 10/14/08
