Wake up with this great breakfast casserole!
Our family loves to eat this after Thanksgiving. It’s a great way to use the leftover turkey. The green from the peppers and red from the pimento also give this dish a festive look that makes it great holiday meal, as well.
The refreshing salad remind you of spring and the beautiful weather that accompanies it.
I started with my mother-in-laws spaghetti sauce recipe and added bits and pieces from other recipes I liked. It’s now a family favorite that I use in all my pasta dishes, especially good in lasagna!
