PAULA DEEN'S BREAKFAST STRATA



Paula Deen's Breakfast Strata image

I found this recipe in Paula Deen's magazine. It calls for Canadian bacon, but I didn't have any available and a run to the market is over 30 minute drive, so used regular bacon, crumbled. It still turned out to be delicious. I think it would be the perfect dish for just any meal, don't just use this for breakfast or brunch, it made a fantastic dinner. This needs to be made ahead as it needs to sit from 8 hours to overnight, so make it before leaving for work, and come home to an easy cook meal.
