by 1 Comment

Thanks for Dunkin’ Donuts for making breakfast a real treat 24/7 and for partnering with me for today’s post. All opinions expressed within this post are completely my own.

You know what really gets me excited? Like – jump up and down, sing at the top of my lungs, and maybe throw in a cabbage patch dance kind of excited? Food. Always food. No doubt about it.

That should come as NO surprise to many of you who have been following this blog for a while. Food instantly takes me to my happy place. When it’s time to eat, I’ll be the first one to show up and show out to get some grub in my tummy. I never miss a meal, and I especially never miss breakfast. Just to keep it 100% with you all, breakfast is the most coveted and anticipated meal of my day! There’s just something about breakfast food that screams “comfort food” to me, and I love it all!

I can’t think of very many occasions where making a casserole isn’t appropriate. If I see a casserole in a buffet line, I’m having some of that! So years ago when my mother-in-law made this dish, I fell in love fast.  I’ve had a few different versions of “breakfast casseroles”, but this is the best breakfast casserole I’ve ever tasted. It’s simple, hearty, warm and oh so delicious!

The BEST breakfast casserole ever! This would make a great dish for brunch, too!

This dish is PERFECT to serve as breakfast in bed on birthdays, anniversaries, or during the holidays. It’s also really good reheated!

Here’s what you’ll need to make it:…
