Good morning! Happy Monday! I hope you had a relaxing weekend.
This week I made the breakfast casserole on page 238 of the Trim Healthy Mama cookbook for my grandma’s 92nd birthday brunch. It was a winner. I came home with an empty dish! The breakfast casserole is an S (satisfying) meal and was very good.
I used the cooked turkey sausage option instead of breakfast sausage links and regular bacon verses the turkey bacon, because both were items I had on hand. I also used Colby-Jack cheese because it was what I had. One family member asked if the casserole had broccoli in it, it did not! I would definitely make this recipe again. The next time I make it, I will make it in a smaller pan so that the casserole is thicker.
The breakfast casserole recipe that I had made for years, called for making the recipe the night before and then baking the following morning. I did the same thing for this recipe as well, and it turned out fine. It seemed easier to do all the work the night before a party! I packed all the other food on trays and packed the car and pulled the breakfast casserole from the oven, covered it and we headed to my grandma’s house. I served a salad and fruit and yogurt along with the casserole for the brunch. Audra brought avocados. My sweet grandma provided the party plates, napkins and cupcakes! I believe The Salesman was the only one of our group that ate a cupcake!
We had such a good time. My grandma is the best! She is truly a blessing to me and my family. She has loved well. So thankful for the time to celebrate her and her 92 years.
