Deluxe Breakfast Casserole

This Deluxe Breakfast Casserole is the very best! Guaranteed!
Sausage, ham, and bacon, along with cheddar, Parmesan, and Swiss cheese put this breakfast casserole on top of the stack. It is completely “over the top” good with surprise spices and rich half and half mixed into the eggs. The recipe is very large. So, unless you’re serving a crowd, half the ingredients to fit a 9″ x 13″ casserole. Or, better yet, divide into 2 casseroles, serve one, and freeze the other for surprise company.
Just like our recipes, we make EVERYTHING from scratch!
