This delicious brunch casserole is certainly something wonderful to wake up to. If you do not desire a lot of garlic, just either omit altogether or reduce the amount. Potlucks are another great occasion for a crockpot casserole recipe like this. Just be sure to grease the crock pot well and cook all night, preferably the full 10 hours so your eggs are not runny.
