I had to giggle at the name of this recipe. My hubby always jokingly hints that I should get up early and fix him breakfast...LOL, that only happens when we have company :)

Great to hear that the name of recipe made you giggle. I was laughing at the name when I read it the first time too. I said to my husband, "Then you should have to make the recipe, it is a wife-saver" hehe :-)

I think cooking time should say 45 minutes, not 45 hours!

Family favourite since the late 80s.
We had 6 neighbours help us move 6 hours away in 1990. Made this for next morning breakfast (paper plates and disposable utensils)...they raved so much and asked for the recipe for the "hunt camp".
Nice now to be able to make it for or empty nest.
