Pimiento Cheese Breakfast Casserole
Pimiento Cheese Breakfast Casserole: A stick to your ribs Southern dish that will quickly become a family favorite.
Serving up something hearty for breakfast is a must on the weekends. With all the weekend activities we really need something that will keep us going until lunch. I made this casserole with country ham. Bacon and sausage would work too. Substitute in your families favorite meat. To dress up this dish for a brunch you could serve with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of chopped chives.
Make this casserole the night before and pop it in the oven when you get up for a quick meal. This casserole is also wonderful as leftovers. That night I served it with grilled steaks and a salad. Now that’s what a call the perfect dish.
