Hearty Breakfast

Redneck Epicurean's Note:

This was a featured dish on the morning show in Louisville. It's similar to the other two recipes posted here, but they use Velveeta, as this one doesn't. People from the country love breakfast food at any meal, so never fear about serving this for dinner and heating up the leftovers the morning after for breakfast.
