    I made this today. Left out garlic. Not a fan of garlic at breakfast. But. It was excellent. Will make again

    1. Heidi says:

      I’m so glad you loved it, Cheryl! 🙂

  3. Marion says:

    Every year I try a new breakfast casserole for Christmas, but we haven’t liked them to much. I decided to try this one bc it looked a bit different. It was delicious!! I made my kids favorite cinnamon rolls to go with it, but they just kept going back for the casserole instead! I substituted sausage in for the bacon just out of preference. But did everything else exactly as stated in the directions. This is a keeper! I’ll be making it again and again!

    1. Heidi Miller says:

      I’m so glad you enjoyed it… and the sausage sounds like a delicious swap!
