"Makes a great family breakfast brunch. You may make this one a day ahead and keep the casserole chilled in the refrigerator until ready to bake. It's especially nice to have this dish prepared and ready to place in the oven for those hectic, hurried holiday morning breakfasts. Recipe from Southern Living magazine, January 1986."

I added mushrooms, a few slices of bacon (crumbled), and green onions, as well as a little bit of spicy brown mustard (about 1 to 1 1/2 tsp.). The dish really tasted fine, but unfortunately, nobody cared for the texture.

This is very good and easy to make. I added fresh chopped tomatoes.

This is a tasty casserole. I omitted the flour. I made a crust of cooked, sliced potatoes. To the crust I added cooked bacon and some broccoli. Then the remaining ingredents were added. It's a company keeper. Thanks for a great recipe.

September 15, 2007: Here's a photo of me and my two girls before leaving our hotel room to go to an Avett Brothers concert. We're all huge fans of the group. We're also huge fans of each other. It's fun to have adult children. --- About me: I'm an artist, and art teacher to kids kindergarten age through 8th grade. My life whirls at a breakneck pace. I teach approximately 800 students, and have 30 different classes each week. It's crazy!!! The rewards, however, are the numerous hugs and good vibes I get from my students. If I didn't have my good-looking husband to stabilize me, I'd surely be sporting a straight-jacket. Oh, and did I mention my yarn obsession? I've made hundreds of crochet items in the past few months, and have a little shop on etsy. Check out my website when you have the time: 8754768"
