"Breakfast Casserole"

Here at Messiah CRC there is a youth group tradition/ministry that once a week during the school year the leaders make breakfast for the youth.  It's EARLY- before school and the leaders can often come before they head to work.  It's a good time of fellowship and it's fun for the youth to be served (literally and figuratively) by the leaders.  The last two year breakfast has been on Thursdays which works great because another tradition is to eat breakfast together on Thanksgiving after the annual council/youth football game.  One of the dishes I often make is this breakfast casserole that was gleaned from the Lake City CRC cookbook (originally from my friend Alisha Winkle).  It's a hit normally on a Thursday morning so I decided to make it again for Thanksgiving.
