Bacon Cheddar Brunch Casserole

This recipe is an adaptation from Bacon Pie. I tried it for the first time this morning and my whole family agreed it was a success. - even Amanda, my picky eater. I used powdered milk and mixed it to equal four cups since we were out of milk this morning.

1 lb. bacon

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 small onion, chopped

4 cups milk

8 eggs

2 cups baking mix

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke

salt to taste

Heat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium heat until evenly browned. Drain, crumble and set aside.

Sprinkle bacon, cheese and onion in baking pan.

In a medium bowl stir milk, eggs, baking mix, pepper, garlic powder, liquid smoke and salt until blended. Pour into baking pan.

Bake 45 - 50 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.

I forgot to take a picture before everyone dug in so here is a picture of one undisturbed corner of the casserole.
