Farmer's Casserole

Meet the Cook: Between family and friends, we average 375 visitors a year! This casserole is handy - you can put it together the night before, let the flavors blend, then bake it in the morning. It's also versatile...elegant enough to serve for a ladies' brunch but hearty enough to satisfy a man-sized appetite. -Nancy Schmidt, Center, Colorado
