Tommye Adams’ tasty breakfast casserole feeds a crowd and is a crowd pleaser, too.

The recipe is a great choice for a family breakfast or a large gathering, she says.

“It’s tasty,” Adams says. “You can put it together the night before serving it, and it goes a long way.” Several cooks can even join forces, she says, and easily make enough for a large group.

The recipe is included in the Country Classics Volume II cookbook, published by the Tennessee Farm Bureau Women and now in its second printing.

Adams lives with her husband, Joe R., on a Warren County farm that has been in his family for almost 200 years. Joe R. Adams is retired, but the couple continues to participate in Farm Bureau activities.

“My husband has been a member of the Farm Bureau for more than 50 years,” Adams says. “His granddad was a charter member of the Farm Bureau. We’re still active; we still enjoy it.”

Her husband was a row farmer and raised beef cattle, Adams says. And although he is no longer actively farming, he still “watches over the farm pretty closely,” she says. “We enjoy living in the country.”

Joe R. Adams also had a long career as a rural mail carrier, Adams says. The couple has two daughters – one in Johnson City and one in McMinnville – and three grandsons.

Adams’ day-to-day cooking is mostly for herself and her husband, but she turns to the breakfast casserole when a bigger gathering is planned for family or friends.

“The recipe was given to me, and I actually just made it for a large breakfast,” Adams says. “I’ve used it for several occasions, and my daughter has used it, too.”
