I've been making this casserole for a very long time (found the recipe in one of my old Taste of Home cookbooks). It never fails to please everyone. Very convenient since it can be prepared ahead of time and then baked when guests arrive. I like to add a can of chopped green chilies. I highly recommend adding this to you "go to" breakfast and brunch recipes.

Oh, thank you Kittencal! I brought home a tray full of scrambled eggs from a brunch and was wondering what to do with them for dinner. I'm giving 5 stars because I've always had great success with your recipe submissions and this looks like another winner! I'll report back with my version - don't have velveeta or canned shrooms...

A delicious breakfast casserole! I usually substitute shredded cheddar cheese or a colby/jack blend for the Velveeta. Sometimes I also substitute cooked sausage for the ham as well. A great family pleasing recipe and since it can be made the night before and just popped into the oven the next morning, that makes it a mom-pleaser as well! (I'm not exactly a morning person.) Thanks for posting!
