My review
Christmas Morning Wife Saver (Breakfast Casserole)
Toby
"I certainly cannot take credit for this recipe but it is a Christmas classic. There are lots of little things to personalize this recipe. I have suggested using red and green bell peppers because they are Christmas colors! I also use grated cheese and spread it over the Canadian bacon instead of cheese slices. I have used regular bacon in this recipe, but I find that it overpowers the rest of the flavors. Make this tasty breakfast dish the night before and just pop it in the oven on Christmas morning; let it cook while you open gifts and sip your rum-spiked coffee!"

This was just OK in my view. Although I baked it the full time it had an overly mushy and soft texture like it wasn't quite set. Although after sitting for a while and later being refrigerated ...

I used 2 cups of milk due to mushy texture comments. I think the reason it's mushy is the raw onion and red / green pepper also add liquid when cooked. Instead of regular bread I used a loaf o...
