No one leaves the table hungry when I serve this savory casserole. In fact, folks rave about it! What I like as much as the taste is that I can prepare it ahead of time. —Mary Eckler, Louisville, Kentucky

A great change for a family reunion breakfast or for serving at home...if you reduce the recipe for 4 or 6 people!
