Mrs. Cave's Christmas Casserole

Jonathan's mother makes her Christmas Casserole every year on Christmas for breakfast.  Mrs. Cave thinks the Rice Crispies help make the casserole unique and gives it great texture.  I couldn't agree more!  Mrs. Cave's Christmas Casserole was the first breakfast casserole I've ever had, and let me tell you, it made a real impression on me!  She was generous enough to share her recipe with me.
