I have made this outrageously good casserole (got the recipe from Mama's website, which has LOTS of other good stuff on it). In fact, I made it for Christmas brunch a few months ago. Everyone loved it. It is a sure crowd-pleaser. Thanks for sharing it, Mama.

Karen, are you talking about the holiday breakfast casserole?

No, I'm pretty sure it was the one you just posted. I think you posted it on the "other" site a while back. I wasn't sure if I could make it because I couldn't get frozen hashbrowns, but I used those hashbrown patties you buy in the meat department, broke them up and they worked great. I did make it the night before and it was yummy. I made it again for our gala inauguration brunch, when I had friends over to watch the inauguration on TV. Everyone loved it.
