A recipe that came in an email from Taste of Home. Sounds like something I would love, so posting here for safe keeping. You can make the pie the night before to make for a easy morning meal. Update 6/23/2013: After having another chef try this recipe with bad results, I quickly got the ingredients to try it myself (and then make any corrections), which is why I posted it anyways!! Since it was only myself eating this time, I scaled it back for 2-3 servings and did use the shredded hashbrowns as did the previous reviewer, and it worked out perfectly. I only had mine in the refrigerator for a few hours, before baking it for my lunch. I really loved the crunchy topping from the cornflakes and bacon bits on top and next time might increase the amount of cornflakes, so good and really enjoyed …
