Made this for the first time recently. I used crumbled crispy bacon. I put it together the night before and baked it in the morning. I added a can of Ro-tel hot after baking, yummy. I should have used dish smaller than the 3 qt so it would be thicker, but my guy and I totally loved it! I have ideas for making it in the future to keep it from becoming boring.
8/19/2011 04:37:02 PM Report AbuseI make this every year for Christmas morning. I have only used sausage. I always make it the night before. Have made it one night for dinner and it had to much water. I really think it should be made the night before for best results. I serve it with flour tortillas. It is great to only have to put it in the oven in the morning and set the timer.

3/5/2010 01:58:16 PM Report AbuseI made this for Christmas morning breakfast the past 2 years. I like that you can make it ahead of time since we are up late on Christmas Eve. Everyone loved it! I used ham so I didn't even have to cook the meat.
