I really like this recipe and my family also asks me to make it year after year. I definitely enjoy the fact I can prepare it the night before and just pop it in the oven while everyone enjoys the morning festivities.

I modify the ingredients somewhat... I use a mixed cheddar and Colby Jack cheese. Also, I sometimes make this dish half sausage and half pepperoni or make two separate if you have enough people. Nix the mushrooms if any family members don't like the lovely little fungus.

Enjoy this and relish the free time Christmas morning.
