While I love breakfast casseroles conceptually, I usually end up finding I’m too lazy to pull them together when it comes down to it. Especially when the ingredients can be eaten separately (eggs, bacon, sausage) easier and pretty close to just as delicious, minus the extra step of baking in the oven. When I wake up in the morning, I’m hungry, so the eggs end up being scrambled with veggies and we call it a day. So I don’t make many breakfast casseroles.

Then I had this one at a friend’s house. It was so fantastic that I knew I had to give it a shot. AND LO AND BEHOLD, you do 80% of the work the night before anyway! Even better.

So give this one a shot and you’ll be Breakfast Queen.

And everyone loves the Breakfast Queen, amiright?
