"Our family has been serving this breakfast casserole most holiday mornings for years. It's been so popular, my mother has posted it in several community cookbooks. We prepare it a day or two ahead of time (usually one ham and one sausage, so it's best to double the recipe), refrigerate it and then bake it in the morning. It goes straight from the refrigerator to the oven. There's rarely any left. We usually serve it with a big bowl of fresh berries, grapes and fresh pineapple mixed together and/or cinnamon rolls. I just served it to a hockey crowd at our last lake weekend and they loved it!"
