    Weekend Waffle Casserole

    Published: Mar 29, 2014 · Updated: Mar 30, 2014 by Kevin Williams | 4 Comments

    waffleCAPTION:  you can use homemade waffles or frozen waffles in this neat casserole recipe!

    Weekend breakfasts are a little slower paced in Amish households, especially on a non-church Sunday.  Kids aren't rushing off to school and often the husbands aren't heading off to the factory.  There's just a more relaxing morning mood on these weekend days.  And that means some delicious, different breakfasts.

    Cookies, casseroles and baked breads might be on the weekend morning menu. As might a more expansive selection of sausage and bacon.  Perhaps some cinnamon rolls.  And maybe waffles or pancakes.

    A few years ago French toast casserole was the fad breakfast in Amish households. But what about "waffle casserole"?  This is a recipe I've seen making the rounds of late and it does seem delicious.  Give it a try this weekend and let us know how it turns out!

      This sounds good,but I am not sure about the cheese. Maybe it would be fine..I like cheese...but with waffles and syrup? I think I will try it with an extra 1/4 cup of milk to replace the cheese. I'll let you know. If anyone tries it as written(with cheese),please let us know !

      Thanks for the recipe, it looks interesting but I didn't see where you tell us how long to bake the casserole and at what temperature?

      Thank you so much Gert! I appreciate your taking the time to find this for me! With Easter coming up, this could be an interesting brunch item to serve to the family.

      On another note, Kevin I have linked your blog to mine (AmishReader.blogspot.com) to bring some more readers to your Friday column by Teacher Mahlon. I hope that is okay.
