Whenever the kids come home for the holidays, we are always overjoyed with having everyone around. I just love that my house fills up with their talking, laughing, and presence. As the Mom of the family, it’s my thought that I have to make sure that everyone is fed and taken care of. So, when they are home for a breakfast or brunch time, I like to make a nice hearty casserole. I have done several different kinds over the years, but this one is by far my favorite.

To Make this Recipe You’Il Need the following ingredients:
