This recipe is for a breakfast Casserole that I grew up with every Christmas morning. I think it is foolish to only have this delightful breakfast once a year.

Notes

Can this Casserole be made in advance?
It is a wonderful idea to make this in advance. You can prepare the entire casserole, cover it and place it in the refrigerator before baking it. Then when you are waiting for your coffee in the morning, place the casserole into a preheated oven.
