Cheesy Smoked Turkey and Banana Casserole – aka Tropical Heart Attack Casserole
Ingredients
- Butter
- 12-14 slices white bread (with no crusts)
- 8-10 large slices deli sliced smoked turkey
- 4 bananas, sliced on the bias (make sure the bananas are not too ripe)
- 2 cups shredded Sharp Cheddar
- 2 cups crushed regular potato chips (measure first, then crush)
- 6 slices cooked and crumbled bacon
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup 2% milk
- 1 cup cream (not half & half – real cream)
- Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Splash of Worcestershire sauce
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Butter a 9 by 13 glass baking dish. Butter both sides of the crustless bread and layer approximately 6 of them into the bottom of the baking dish, overlapping them as necessary but keep them even. Layer the slices of smoked turkey on top of the bread, then splash some Worcestershire on top of the turkey, then layer the bananas and finally 6 more slices of bread, then the cheese, potato chips, and bacon. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Pour this over the casserole almost to the top. Bake for 45 minutes until brown and bubbly. Let setup for 10 minutes then cut into squares and remove with a spatula, like lasagna. Prepare to have your mind altered, your taste buds titillated and you life changed for the better. Enjoy!
