I was at one of my cooking party demonstrations a few months back and created this recipe after speaking with the husband of my host. We were discussing simple breakfast recipes and family’s sharing breakfast together.  We came up with this quick and easy breakfast casserole dish that your whole family will enjoy! It’s such a versatile dish you can substitute vegetables instead of sausage or create a Mexican style dish by adding bell peppers and tomatoes with a little bit of salsa and Cilantro.
