Happy Fourth Sunday of Advent, My Lovelies! Christmas is one week from today, and I for one think it's super-special when Christmas falls on a Sunday.
For each of the four Sundays of Advent 2022 I will be sharing my favorite tips to help YOU make your holiday prep easier. These days it takes me about three times longer to accomplish a task, so I need all the help I can get this season!
But first, today we light the candle that represents love:
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.~John 3:16
The First Sunday of Advent, I shared the easiest way to clean a chandelier; the Second Sunday of Advent, I shared how to take care of poinsettias; and last week, the Third Sunday of Advent, I shared how to freeze cookie dough.
For today's last Advent post, I'm sharing my best recipe for make ahead breakfast casserole: I've shared it several times, but it's worth repeating. You can make it two or three days before you want to bake and serve it. It only takes an hour to bake so all you have to do the "day of" is preheat the oven to 350, take it out of your fridge, uncover and bake it. I bake this casserole for Christmas brunch every year: It has become a Treleaven Christmas tradition!

Yankee Pleaser Casserole
Ingredients:
2 lbs. bulk sausage, cooked and drained
2 c. grated cheese (longhorn, cheddar, whatever you like)
4 eggs
1 c. cooked grits
8 1/2-oz package corn muffin mix
1 3/4 c. hot milk
1/2 c. butter, melted
Procedure:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 2-quart casserole dish. Layer the sausage and one cup of the cheese in bottom of casserole. In medium bowl, combine the eggs, grits, muffin mix, milk, and butter. Pour over the sausage and cheese. Top with remaining cheese. At this point, the uncooked mixture may be refrigerated overnight, if desired. (My husband loves this part because he likes to take it with him to his hunting camp. Everyone loves it when he brings it!) Bake for one hour in the middle of the oven. Yields 8 - 10 servings.
Cook's Note: My husband prefers maple flavored sausage. It gives it an interesting flavor! I prefer hot sausage, and one of my daughters likes sage sausage. All three are good in the recipe!

Do you have any Christmas brunch traditions?
I hope that these Advent posts have been helpful and a blessing to y'all!
Until next time...
Blessings!

ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful! I always make bacon, eggs, biscuits, cinnamon French toast for my grils, sils and us, but I would love this casserole too! I may make it too!
ReplyDeleteRJ, what brand grits do you use?
ReplyDeleteQuaker Five Minute Grits. You measure the grits after they've cooked.
DeleteSounds wonderful, my son would love this!!
