Looking for a good breakfast casserole that will feed 25

[Jeni78]

Hi - I know there is a gazillion breakfast casseroles on the internet. I'm looking for 1 (or two) breakfast casseroles that I can take to work.

I'd like to do a meat one and a veggie one.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Jeni,
a favorite here is a green chili frittata, we add chopped crisp bacon or pancetta to it and it's great. it will serve 8 as a luncheon dish or 12 as an appy..When I have a full house I double it and serve it with potatoes,onions fried ,turned and fried on the other side plus some nice cold fruit.If you are interested I'll post the whole thing for the frittata for you
