My toddler loves hash brown and bacon. And my husband loves any kind of casserole. So, this is a perfect recipe for me to make for the two of them. I've been meaning to cook something for the at breakfast that they could both enjoy at the same time. Not just toasts or cereal. I planned to do it when I take my leave from work. And here it is! Just like an answered prayer! A perfect breakfast meal for my two boys!
