Super Yummy, I made for a church brunch and since I married a meat and taters man, I used extra sausage so I threw in a few extra eggs too. It was done in 5 hours and everyone at the brunch who took some loved it. This is a keeper as far as I'm concerned. Anyone who has overnight guests should consider this recipe. I served with the sour cream and my homemade picante sauce.
