I've made several of these 'make ahead' casseroles and this is by far the best. It doesn't dry out, it's very flavorable and just the right thickness!

I really didn't like this recipe. It was blah tasting - I kept thinking I left out something, but I didn't. I think it was because of the bread -- way too much, it drowned out everything. It looked nice, but tasted bland.

This is a wonderful recipe. I've lost track of how many times I've made it. People at work have started asking for morning birthday parties so that I will bring this instead of a cake!I use summer sausage and it adds a great flavor.
