Wow! That recipe looks awesome and easy. We have a big Christmas morning breakfast and I always try to make something that can be put in the refrigerator the night before. What a treat this would be! Thanks for sharing it on Tuesday’s Tasty Tidbits.
Picking up a 40 lb case of bananas tomorrow for only $5. Now I know what I’m going to do with them! Do you think this casserole will freeze well? Prepare, then freeze, thaw & bake?
This looks like THE perfect treat to make for our Christmas morning brunch! I am so glad I stopped at this recipe. It contains all of my favorite goodies!
