Bayou Breakfast Casserole

- 70 minutes to make
- Serves 8
I first tasted this at my mother's several years ago, and I immediately grabbed the recipe and copied it down. It was an Emeril contest winner way back when, and I have altered it very little. The ingredients are a bit different, but the flavors come together wonderfully in the finished product.
