Method

  1. Collect all the necessary ingredients.

  2. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until it becomes evenly browned (approximately 10 minutes). Place the cooked bacon on a plate lined with paper towels, and crumble it once it has cooled down. Remove the excess grease from the skillet.

  3. In the same skillet, using the remaining grease, cook the onions and mushrooms until the onions become translucent and the mushrooms become tender (around 5 minutes).

  4. Grease a casserole dish measuring 9x13 inches with 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the potatoes at the bottom of the dish and sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Add the crumbled bacon on top, followed by the cooked onions and mushrooms.

  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and parsley. Pour this mixture over the casserole and then sprinkle it with Cheddar cheese. Cover the dish and refrigerate it for 8 hours or overnight.

  6. When you are ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake the casserole in the preheated oven until it becomes set, which usually takes about 1 hour.

  7. Serve the dish hot and enjoy!

  8. Note: If you are planning to bake the casserole on the same day without refrigerating it, reduce the baking time to 45 minutes.
