Breakfast Casseroles

This is not my picture.  Thank you Google Images!

I can't believe I am about to type this, but Christmas is next week.  It's Thursday and Christmas is NEXT WEEK...I'm so excited!  Usually for Christmas morning breakfast we have a huge breakfast with pancakes, bacon, eggs, all the good, heart attack on a plate stuff and all the mess.  This year I don't have time for the prep and mess because we are having family and friends over for dinner and I really don't want to spend my entire day in the kitchen.  I pulled out my recipe box today and put together this group of recipes for breakfast casseroles.  I will need at least two casseroles to feed our family with 7 kids, 3 of whom are teenagers.  I just can't decide which to make because they are all so very yummy!  Enjoy!
