Notes
What to do with leftoversCover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat until it is piping hot!Substitutions/AdditionsIf you don't have Dijon mustard, you can use dry mustard powder instead, or leave it out.You can use all bacon, all ham, or all sausage. Or a combination of all of them!Add in some chopped bell peppers (I like red peppers, but yellow and green are cool too) for some extra flavor.If you are into a southwestern flair (and who isn't?) then a can of green chilis or a chopped jalapeno is fantastic in this.Freezing instructionsThis recipe can be frozen before baking.Cover tightly with plastic wrap and foil. Label and freeze. Thaw overnight and bake as directed in the morning.
