I prepare this sunrise specialty the day before Christmas so we have something cheesy and hearty to warm our tummies while we open gifts the next morning. The key to its perfection is to let it set overnight.-Deb Healey, Cold Lake, Alberta

This was a great way to use up leftover bacon and cheese. I used a 9x13 inch baking dish and it was the perfect size. The casserole was fluffy and cheesy, and the bacon added a nice smoky flavor. I would definitely make this again!

I made this for a brunch party and it was a hit! Everyone loved it. I used a combination of sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, and it was the perfect amount of cheesiness. The casserole was also very easy to make, which is always a plus.
