The original recipe for Breakfast Casserole uses 3 cups of milk, and no pumpkin or maple syrup. I wanted to make this recipe but needed to use up some leftover pumpkin. I added the pumpkin and to make it more interesting, I added 1/2 cup of maple syrup and decreased the milk to 2 1/2 cups. I loved it!!!
So YOU choose which version you or your family will prefer!
ENJOY!
