It’s perfect for crowds—I love making family-friendly dishes that the kiddos can enjoy, and this is definitely one of them! Even the pickiest eaters will devour this! I would make a few pans (if I were you).
It’s even great for meal prep—I use this for busy breakfasts when I am on the go! I put this in a ziplock bag, and instead of spending $8 on a sandwich I don’t need? Boom!

Substitute and Recipe Variations
Make it Pork Free- What I love about this recipe is how versatile it is! Don’t eat pork? No problem, you can use virtually any deli meat, or, no meat at all. I love using asparagus and mushrooms when I am making this meatless. Amazing! Get creative and make it your own!
Make it Vegetarian- No egg? No meat? No problem! Skip it and use the milk, cheese and whichever meat substitutes or veggies!
Make it low calorie– well, calories are fun for the soul!
