My family loves when I make this on Christmas morning. They also go crazy when I make a Crescent Bacon Breakfast Ring or Red Velvet Cinnamon Rolls.

I love making this. It is so good, but I make it in the oven instead of the slow cooker. I mix everything together and put it in a dish and bake 30 minutes at 350. I make it the night before and let it sit in the fridge. So yummy!!
