Yummy! I loved the fact that I could make this the night before and pop it in the oven. It puffed beautifully and was delicious!

This was absolutely delicious! Even my daughter, who does not care for sausage, ate it up like it was going out of style! Not only would I highly recommend this, I am sure to make it again. Thanks.

This is a very good breakfast casserole. We made this for Christmas morning and we were not disappointed. We followed all the ingredients except for onions, which DD doesn't care for. Made for Kittencal Tagathon.
