Breakfast Casserole

This is a great casserole to make overnight and have ready for guests in the morning. It is easy to make for a large group. Our church served this for Easter Sunrise Services, which is how I got the recipe.

The homeless ministry where I have volunteered makes this casserole by using any available buns or bread broken up to cover the bottom of the pan, instead of bread slices. This seems to work just as well and is a good way to get rid of extra or dry bread.

Here is the recipe:

Cheese and Bacon Breakfast Casserole
