Christmas Morning Wife Saver

I've had this recipe in my collection for about 25 years now. I guess you can consider it a classic. It's a great little casserole, meant for breakfast, which can be used all year round. I like to serve it with a little fruit salad, coffee, and/or some juice. You make it up the night before, leave it in the fridge, and then pop it into the oven in the morning. What could be easier than that?
