Couples' Bec Breakfast Casserole

Submitted by FutureVizions

"A yummy, fairly easy breakfast casserole for two. Everything but the crust can be done the night before, and popped in the refrigerator until cooking- just add 5 minutes to the first bake time. Enjoy! :)"

This is really good, and both my DS's ate it so even better!! I was going to double the recipe, but was not sure if my boys would like it. The only downfall to that is DH got a small portion (worked late). I made a couple changes; instead of the precooked bacon I cooked and crumbled 3 pieces of thick bacon. Also I bought the wrong crescent rolls (bought the crescent rounds) so I just unrolled them and layed them across the top. will make this again!! Made for Spring 2010 PAC Orphanage.
