deb k's Note:

I love breakfast casseroles, but this is one of my favorites. Add some steamed asparagus and maybe a garlic grits casserole and you have a wonderful breakfast for company.

This was a big hit! We actually had this for supper, not for breakfast, and it went great with some Israeli salad on the side. For religious reasons I left out the bacon, and I made two batches, one without the bacon and one substituting smoked tofu. The kids preferred it tofu-free, but the adults loved the smokey taste added by the tofu. My only other changes were to use a large onion instead of a small one, and the add two cloves of garlic, minced finely. I can see me making this a million different ways, adding brocolli or cauliflower next time!
