There is nothing better than a leisurely breakfast. I love to have a hearty breakfast in the morning, but as I am not a true morning person, making an elaborate breakfast for me is difficult. Here we have Cracker Barrel’s Ham and Egg Casserole, their recreation of a strata. This recipe is one that you can prepare the night before, perhaps while you are cooking dinner, and then pop into the refrigerator. The next morning, take it out and place it into a hot oven for about 30 minutes, and you have a hearty breakfast.
You may want to substitute the ham for another type of meat in your refrigerator, or you may even want to go meatless. This recipe can be made in a million different ways.
