Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).  Lightly grease 6-cup (1.5 L) shallow baking dish.

In prepared baking dish, layer half of the potato slices; top with half of the egg slices and half of the cheese sauce. Sprinkle with bacon and top with onions. Repeat with remaining potato, egg and sauce layers.
