NIGHT BEFORE CASSEROLE

Night Before Casserole image

My family has a big farm appetite. To be extra-sure I don't get caught short at breakfast-time I make this casserole as a backup the evening before. It could have been a meal in itself! It comes out of the oven light and puffy, but there's enough egg, cheese and meat to be hearty. -Marion Kirst, Troy, Michigan
