FARMER'S CASSEROLE

This wonderful casserole is the best 'breakfast casserole' I have ever eaten. It could easily be served at any time of day. I first ate it at a Wedding Shower and could hardly wait for the bride's mother to get the recipe for me from the Aunt who lived in another state. I am posting the recipe exactly as I received it...however I would personally increase the salt to 1 teaspoon instead of the 1/4th teaspoon since I remember adding salt when I ate it before.

This is a great use for the leftover Easter ham. You can prepare it the night before, or if you're last minute like me it still works like a charm to throw it all together at once. I didn't have ham, but Jimmy Dean sausage was wonderful (I cooked it first then mixed it in with everything). I think this serves more than 6 people, but I must confess I couldn't eat just one scoop.
