I make this every Christmas morning. Enjoy! . . .

For Christmas Morning, I think that opening gifts sounds like more fun. . . but I like your recipe and will give it try between now and then. Thanks!

I love the idea of adding jalapeno's! We do something very close to this, we do not use jalapeno's though. We use Onions and sharp chedder instead on mild. I've been known to throw in some salsa, but the traditionalist in my family really objected!

We call it Christmas Morning Casserole!
