Cinnamon Roll Casserole

Y’all this may be one of the most decadent breakfast treats I’ve ever shared.  My Cinnamon Roll Casserole is not only for breakfast but would make an amazing dinner time dessert with a scoop of ice cream.  It would also be a wonderful Christmas morning breakfast, or a special treat when you have guests.  The fact that you can use canned prepared cinnamon rolls just makes it that much easier and you can add different nuts and fruits to make it your own.  Give it a try and let me know what you think about this decadent Cinnamon Roll Casserole.
