I would imagine you could cut this up into double servings and freeze it....

I have made it and my recipe is a little different but you can subtract and add what you want! Things such as Canadian bacon is good in there too! You can make it as large or small of a casserole as you wish!

Sounds like a real good recipe. I would love to make it, though for 2 people. Can anyone convert it so I can make it for 2? Thank you.

forgive me. Didn't see the "each" at the end.

Correct your math. 2(11x7) pans would be 8 nservings of 5 1/2"x3 1/2" pieces

This recipe looks and sounds great until you do the math...296 calories for a square that is only about 1 3/4" x 2 3/4"? A little to fattening for me! I think I'll have to give it a try with with a few tweaks to make it healthier!
