Christmas Morning Wife Saver (Breakfast Casserole) Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Christmas Morning Wife Saver (Breakfast Casserole) Recipe). I certainly cannot take credit for this recipe but it is a Christmas classic. There are lots of little things to personalize this recipe. I have suggested using red and green bell peppers because they are Christmas colors! I also use grated cheese and spread it over the Canadian bacon instead of cheese slices. I have used regular bacon in this recipe, but I find that it overpowers the rest of the flavors. Make this tasty breakfast dish the night before and just pop it in the oven on Christmas morning; let it cook while you open gifts and sip your rum-spiked coffee!
