Start the morning off right with Mom’s Breakfast Casserole! It’s a hearty meal full of Vitamin D, bacon, eggs, potatoes, and cheese!

Growing up, we’d beg my mom to make her yummy breakfast casserole. We’d typically get to enjoy it on special occasions like Christmas morning, Sundays every now and then, or for birthdays. I’m not sure why it was reserved for just these times, as it’s super simple to make and SO incredibly delicious! I think we would have done flips if she’d have made it even once a week!

I love that I can assemble it the night before, keep it in the fridge, then just pop it in the oven first thing after waking up. Then, before you know it, we’re feasting on a warm, tasty egg and potato breakfast! Don’t leave out the bacon! Do I even need to say that? 🙂 I caught my kids hovered over the dish, picking it off the top sneakily. As if I wouldn’t notice. Ha!

We’re big vitamin people at our house. If there’s something as simple as taking a vitamin, that we can do to stay at our best, I’ll happily do it!

Today’s breakfast casserole includes Vitamin D, from the eggs and milk. We love to keep Nature Made® Vitamin D3 2000 IU Tablets at-the-ready.

Did you know that 90% of US population do not meet their daily vitamin D needs1?

Vitamin D3 – found in Nature Made vitamin D supplements – is the body’s preferred form of vitamin D. Vitamin D3 is more effective than vitamin D2 at raising and maintaining adequate levels of vitamin D in the body.† – also – Vitamin D is synthesized by the skin when we’re exposed to sunlight during certain times of the day and year, and can also be found in a limited number of natural and fortified foods sources. Vitamin D aids in the absorption of calcium, and vitamin D supports bone, teeth, muscle and immune system health.†

Vitamin D benefits us in so many ways! Nature Made® offers several levels of Vitamin D at Walmart, including Nature Made® Vitamin D3 2000IU Tablet and Nature Made® Vitamin D3 5000IU Softgel. The 5000IU high dose product is intended for those deficient in Vitamin D as determined and recommended by their physician. It’s easy to find in the dietary supplements section near the pharmacy.

Nature Made® Vitamin D products are USP verified for purity and potency. ‡ ‡Find those Nature Made USP Verified products on NatureMade.com/USP.

Everyone will go wild for this breakfast casserole! It’s perfect for when the holiday company comes into town and you need something that will feed and please a crowd! Or, enjoy it for a weekend brunch on a lazy Sunday morning.

I promise you that the dish will empty quickly! My family devoured it!

We love to have breakfast for dinner at least once a week, and this was a very welcome sight the other evening at our table.

Here’s how to put it together:
