Breakfast, it’s the most important meal of the day.  That’s what the experts tells us, and they are dead on.  It really is.  However, breakfast can get boring – and breakfast recipes aren’t as easy to find as others.

I was inspired to make this because a lot of my friends were making taco rings.  I loved the concept, and decided to apply it in breakfast casserole type of way using my favorite breakfast ingredients – bacon, eggs, cheese, & hashbrowns.

This whole thing is really easy.  Follow along, you’ll see.

Cook your bacon in skillet until crispy, reserving the grease for later use. Drain on paper towels.

Meanwhile, in a large round casserole dish, or on a large pizza stone – place your crescent rolls in a circle, overlapping – leaving the middle hollow like a donut, as shown.

Cook the hash browns in the reserved bacon grease for about 5 minutes. Add in the onions – cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until slightly browned. Drain on paper towels.
