Good Morning Breakfast Casserole

Submitted by Kit Katchen

"This is so easy to prepare and super filling. It's great for when you're short on time and I love making it around the holidays for easy morning breakfasts. Of course you can leave out the green peppers and onions if you don't like them. To speed up cooling of the meat, onion, & green peppers you can place them in the fridge while preparing the egg mix. When I'm in a hurry I skip the onion & pepper and it's still great!"

Good casserole. Gdstuart- did you actually read the recipe?!? Step #8 clearly instructs you to bake the casserole.

Looks like a great recipe, but you might consider baking it. I think the raw, slimy eggs absorbed into the bread would taste pretty disgusting. <br/><br/>Seriously, do you guys have any editors on the staff?
