Our family is getting together for a Christmas breakfast at my parent's house this year. I think almost
everyone will be there. We'll be missing about 4 people who because of
work or distance can't make it but there should be 17 people there.
We'll be having breakfast casseroles. I'm not a big breakfast person,
but I do enjoy a casserole for breakfast OR dinner. This one was
especially tasty. I made it with breakfast sausage but if you enjoy
chorizo, use that. I put in pepper jack cheese for a little zing but
green chilies could easily be added. Make it up the night before and pop
it in the oven to have hot 'n ready for breakfast!!

Our ingredients....
Line the bottom of the pan with the crescent rolls.
Make sure and seal the edges.
Saute the onion then add the sausage until it's all cooked.
Sprinkle the meat/onion over the rolls.
Then sprinkle the cheese over the meat.
Combine the eggs, milk, salt and pepper.
Pour the egg/milk mixture over the cheese.
You're
going to think it's not enough egg mixture, but it is.
You can give the
pan a little shake to make sure that the egg mixture is distributed
well.
Bake it up then allow it to cool for a few minutes. Yummy!
