Grease a 9x113 casserole. Put chicken in the bottom of the casserole. Top with sliced eggs. Bring broth and soup to a boil in a saucepan. Pour over chicken and eggs. In a bowl combine the flour, buttermilk, butter, and pepper. Mix well. Pour over chicken/sauce. Bake 45 minutes at 375F. Serve with a green vegetable or salad and don't forget the cranberry sauce. Freezer Stash Meatballs 3 lb.s lean ground beef 1 1/2 c. soft bread crumbs 3 eggs 6 TB minced onion 3 cloves garlic, crushed 1 1/2 t.

Sweet and Sour Meatballs Heat 12 oz. grape jelly and 1 bottle chili sauce in a saucepan until jelly is melted. Add in meatballs, let them heat 15-20 minutes in sauce on low. Serve over cooked rice. You may add some dried onion soup mix to the sauce at the beginning, but I don't like a whole package as it is too strong. Meatball Hoagies Simmer cooked meatballs in Preggo spaghetti sauce (or your favorite brand of sauce). Put on toasted hoagie rolls, top with grated mozzarella cheese. Serve with fresh veggie sticks and a dip for a quick dinner.

I am certainly going to try this Wake-Up Casserole on Christmas morning. Do you think it will feed six people? I am also serving a fresh fruit salad and some home made cinnamon buns. Now I can't wait for Christmas a.m. Merry Christmas everyone!

Dex, I'm sure a 9x13 pan of this stuff would feed at least 6 people. When I made it I called it 'Christmas Morning Wife Saver'. LOL!

This is the Christmas Morning Wife Saver from the Best of Bridge cookbook.

CHRISTMAS MORNING WIFE SAVER

16 slices of white bread
slices of Canadian back bacon (enough to cover the pan)
grated sharp cheddar cheese (enough to cover the pan)
6 eggs
1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp dry mustard
1/4 c. minced onion
1/4 c. green pepper
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
3 cups of whole milk
dash of Tabasco sauce
1 stick of butter
Special K or Corn Flakes

Butter a 9 X 13 baking dish. Cover the bottom with a layer of 8 slices of bread, then bacon, then grated cheese, and top with remaining 8 slices of bread, sandwich style.

Beat eggs, salt, and pepper together. Stir in mustard, onion, green pepper, Worcestershire sauce, milk, and Tabasco sauce. Pour the mixture over the "sandwiches", cover, and refrigerate overnight.

In the morning, melt the butter and pour over the top of the "sandwiches". Cover with the cereal.

Bake uncovered for 1 hour at 350 degrees. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

I am sorry- but I have to respond to this! We have now made this every single weekend since it was posted. We have used ham, bacon and sausage all with great success. My youngest son now keeps the grocery list current with all the ingredients. So easy and so good!

I remember eating this (the Wife Saver Recipe) at my aunt's at Christmas, when she was still alive. I loved it! But for the life of me, I don't remember the corn flakes on top, and being crunchy.

Do you put the corn flakes on top Trish?
