I love having a delicious hearty breakfast on Christmas morning, but I don’t like to immediately head to the kitchen after opening presents to start cooking! I mean, can I please just sit on the couch and enjoy a delicious cup of coffee while I watch the kiddos play with their toys for just a little longer? 🙂

My boys love to help me cook and there is just something special about family time in the kitchen around the holidays. This casserole can be made the night before & it’s easy to make, which can make it a great way to get the kids involved — I usually do the prep and let the boys assemble everything in the casserole dish. It can also be customized with what your family likes. If your family doesn’t like red peppers, try adding a different veggie that they do enjoy!

This year I went to Walmart to do my shopping because I love the convenience of ordering online and having my groceries delivered to my door. Or, if I’m already out & about, I choose curbside pickup! It’s super easy, convenient and it saves me a lot of time, which I know we can all use more of around this time of year. I can spend less time planning, shopping and in the kitchen, and more time together as a family, all while staying on budget!

I hope you enjoy your holiday season and give this overnight egg casserole a try! Remember, make cooking fun by letting the littles help you out when you can. We had a lot of laughs while making this one and we hope you do too!
