I love these, I try a new one every Christmas.
After the kids are in bed and we are done wrapping presents (because procrastination is not for the weak!) I set up a casserole and some sticky buns to pop in the oven while the living room is being destroyed. :D

We love this casserole too, but the corn flake topping is new to me, sounds great!

Sure is good Suzi and Phreak!
Many years ago, I made 3 of these casseroles for Christmas morning.
Each had the different meat in them.
It's an old classic and so delicious.

Here's one I made a few weeks ago. It's made with sausage. I tear up my bread. Haha the pix aren't the greatest, I'm still trying to get the re-sizing thing on here...
