This hassle-free Breakfast Casserole has been a family favorite for several years running. In our house, the weeks leading up to Christmas are a fun-filled (and very busy!) time. This year, we’ve already prepared 200 tamales for the big day. It’s a wonderful family tradition, but even dedicated family chefs need a little kitchen vacation now and then.
By Christmas morning, we’re all ready for something comforting, delicious and easy. This hearty Breakfast Casserole is the perfect gift for our big, hungry family! Make this the night before and store in the fridge for a no-fuss morning meal on the big day — or any day.
