I am adding this to our regular weekend breakfast rotation! You can’t go wrong with these flavors.
I love the addition of bacon to hash brown casserole to change up the flavor. Thanks for the recipe.
I want to make this for Christmas morning. It looks like a great make ahead, you said it can be made the night before. Busy on Christmas Eve Day. Do you think I can make it on Sunday to bake off Christmas morning Tuesday. Thanks 😄
I never made it that far in advance, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t keep. Let me know how you make out. Merry Christmas!
