This dish was originally made by one woman at church and shared at many breakfast pitch-ins. Soon almost every woman in church was making it and sharing it. It is still a favorite dish at church breakfasts. Personally, my family loves it and I make it every chance I get. It can be put together the night before, refrigerated overnight and cooked upon arising in the morning. Leftovers, if there are any can be easily frozen in individual portions and reheated in a microwave.It is an easy delicious and nutritious breakfast dish.
