When you know you have a busy day ahead, the best thing you could ever make is a casserole. Big Goo came home with a big container of croissants, and yes…just because he liked the way they smelled in the store.
I am not sure what he expected me to do with all those croissants, I could freeze them, which would be a mistake, or I could take the whole container and slice them up and make a casserole.
My Croissant Breakfast Casserole is the perfect cheesy dish!
I was slightly injured the past two days, as you can tell, I didn’t post a recipe. I decided to woman up last night and walk down stairs to see what has been happening in my kitchen.
I gave myself five minutes then I knew I was going back upstairs to rest.
Mix everything together, pour over sliced croissants, press down, cover with foil and refrigerate overnight. That’s it people…
I woke up today, removed the casserole from the fridge. Bake at 325 for 30 minutes, covered, then another 20-30 minutes uncovered.
Allow casserole to rest 10 minutes before serving. I served this with a lot of hot sauce and the family loved it!
