I love posting breakfast recipes.  I don’t post them nearly enough to show my love for them, but I promise they are some of my favorites!  They remind me of happy moments, and I guess that is why I love them.  We usually have them Christmas morning or on vacation at the beach every year.  And every now and again, we will have them on a regular Saturday morning.  The common theme in all these times is just simple and fun happy family times.  Those are the moments I love most in life.

It also helps that my kids with the exception of #4 are all major egg eaters.  They could eat them every which way morning, noon, and night.  So while they may not be huge casserole eaters yet, they do love a good breakfast one with eggs and sausage.  Then throw in some tator tots and they are sold!

This breakfast casserole does have pepperjack cheese, which can be spicy for little ones.  I just put a little colby jack on 1/3 of the casserole in place of the pepperjack to cut down on the spice for them.  And since my son was watching me make this one, I had to be a little stingy with the green onions on the kid’s portion too.  But his love for tator tots totally made him more than willing to try this even if it had “green things” on it.  #pickyeaters

      Hi Debbie! I have not made this particular recipe the night before. I do think it would be fine. Baking time might need to be adjusted.
