My dad made this for my birthday back in December and it is very delicious. I found out later that my husband uses the same recipe when he carries breakfast casserole to work. I also found out that my grandmother used to make this when I was growing up. My dad actually got it from his boss well over 25 years ago. It is certainly not low in calories but in my opinion if it was it would not taste as good.
