This casserole is easy enough for a leisurely weekend breakfast, too. It can also be assembled the night before and put on a timer to start cooking 3 or 4 hours before planning to serve. Inexpensive timers are available at hardware, variety, and department stores. They’re perfect for slow cooker dishes and prevent overcooking.
