  3. That looks so very delicious. We just couldn't eat that for breakfast. We're not used to such food in the morning in The Netherlands.
    We could eat it for lunch though ; )
    Have a wonderful day and thank you.

    1. Many recipes can be tweaked to make them lower in fat. You could use low fat sour cream, low fat cream of chicken soup, low fat cheese, use egg whites instead of whole eggs, use a lower fat meat, etc...

  7. I make a similar version of this receipe and it goes over very well. We like to eat it for lunch or supper also. I often use leftover baked potatoes and shred them instead of the store bought hash browns. I prefer this since we grow our own potatoes.

  12. Like the lady from the Netherlands - I couldn't face that for breakfast at all - this recipe is a lunch time meal! I think I will stick with my homemade granola or toast :)

    1. When in the Guondong Province, several hotel's served a breakfast of greasy noodles, boiled cabbage, boiled peanuts and tea. As usual, I was hungry and grateful for it. The world is a fun place.

  13. I always get a kick out of the term "canadian bacon". What does that mean?

    1. I was waiting for a Canadian to comment on our U.S. Canadian Bacon title. The only difference I can tell is the nice round slices that fit good on round muffins for Eggs Benedict and the fact it costs a little more. :0)

    2. I'm a Canuck. It looks like back bacon to me. So it's actually a different cut of meat than bacon. Ellen is right though, back bacon is used in eggs benedict or egg sandwiches quite a bit.

  14. Just made this night for this morning breaky....we had a garage sale and this fed the troops. OMG! so good, still talking about it. I used cream of potato soup and left over ham ( what I had on hand ), cut the sour cream in half. Added a small can of mild green chilies, yellow peppers, celery and aged cheddar. Baked at 340F for 60 minutes and it came out perfect. Can't wait to try with spicy sauage.
    Great recipe, thank you.

    1. I think it's safe to try doing that. I can't say for sure because I haven't done it but I can't see why you couldn't.

  16. This is exactly the recipe I was looking for to serve Christmas morning - I have seen people ask if they can make it ahead of time and I am wondering if you have tried that yet.

    1. I haven't made it ahead of time yet, sorry. If you try it I would mix it all up and then add the hash browns in the morning...
