Need really good "Breakfast Casserole" recipe for Christmas morning!!

[BC]

We are always so rushed on Christmas morning and this year I was thinking of just putting a breakfast casserole together the night before and sticking it in the oven on Christmas morning. Any suggestions for a really good one?

 

[m&m's mom]

We love the French Toast loaf from the Main Steet Bakery.
The recipe is on Deb Wills site. It is YUMMY!!!

I do a really simple but delicious one with ham, cheese, eggs, milk and bread. You make it the night before and put it in the fridge, unbaked. Then it cooks for about an hour on Christmas morning. I'll find the recipe and post soon.

Here's what we always have, or take if we're going somewhere:

Sausage Egg Bake

1/2 cup melted margarine
2 cups milk
1/2 lb cheddar cheese
10 cups broken up bread
3 eggs
1 tsp ground mustard
1 lb sausage (fry and drain well)
pepper to taste

Grease 13x9 pan. Fry the sausage and drain well. Beat eggs, milk, and mustard. Break the bread and put into greased pan. Pur egg mixture over bread. Top with sausage and cheese. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Bake uncovered at 350° for about an hour.

Our family likes it, and DH and I have both taken it to work a few times, it goes over well.

Here's the one I use. Very easy to make and really good. It's our christmas morning tradition.

1 package (28 ounces) frozen hash browns
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 can condensed cheddar cheese soup
1 pound bacon (when in a rush, I use the real bacon bits)
12 eggs
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

Prepare hash browns. Sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper. Transfer to
a greased 2-1/2 quart baking dish. Top with soup. Set aside 1/2 cup of
bacon; sprinkle remaining bacon over soup. In another skillet, scramble eggs
butter until nearly set. Spoon over bacon. Sprinkle with cheese and
reserved bacon. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is
melted.

Place grapes in a pretty clear bowl. Mix next 4 ingredients and put on top of grapes. Then mix 1/2 c. of brown sugar and 1/2c. pecans and sprinkle on top. Do not mix up. Refrigerate until serving.

bbonline has TONS of recipes. I've made several recipes from there and they have all been fantastic!

Since we usually have a veggie platter on Christmas eve, I put aside some broccoli, mushrooms, and peppers while making up the platter. AFter everyone leaves, I steam the broccoli and saute the mushrooms and peppers. In a baking pan (sprayed) I put a pkg of OreIda hash browns with onions and peppers, the veggies, and about 6 or 8 eggs (beaten). As soon as I get up, I pop it in the oven at 350 for about 20-30 min. and then add some shredded cheddar cheese and return to oven for about 5 min more, or until cheese is melted. I have done this since the kids were small, since who wants to stop and make breakfast on Christmas morning? Set the coffee pot up, so you just have to push the button in the morning. (our timer broke)
I usually have some Pillsbury cinnamon buns that I can just throw in also.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, margarita in the other, body thoroughly used up, and totally worn out, screaming ~ WOO HOO what a ride!

TOTALLY OT, but I LOVE this quote!!!

We usually make breakfast pizza. I have never done it the night before, but if you have all the ingredients ready to go (shred the cheese, etc), then it's a quick thing to put together in the am.
