Cheddar and Potato Breakfast Bake

I wanted something to go along with my creme brulee French toast so I tried this recipe out of the new Bisquick Recipe Card book I found at the grocery store.  You know these great little books they have by the check-out.  I have a rather large collection of them and do actually try some of the recipes sometimes.

We really liked this recipe.  It is rather healthy if you use the Bisquick Heart Smart Mix (which I didn't because I didn't have any).  It makes a very large casserole so I cut some into squares and put some of them in the freezer in individual baggies.  It also is very tasty in a whole wheat tortilla for breakfast.  I'm wondering if you can make this recipe using other types of baking mixes because I would like to try it with a whole grain baking mix.  What do you think?  Let me know if you try it.
