This past Christmas we wanted to have a good breakfast Christmas morning but I as mom didn’t want to do a lot of work. Cinnamon rolls are a favorite of the whole family so we decided to try to make a Cinnamon Roll Casserole, and it turned out amazing and was the perfect breakfast for Christmas morning as well. (I have included links to some great products that I have bought on my own to make my journey easier. You can buy them too through my online sales links.)
I personally loved that there was no prep work to this at all. On Christmas eve I made sure that everything was grouped together and ready to go for starting breakfast the next day. The kids have already asked if we can make it again, proudly there were no leftovers left from our Christmas morning breakfast.

Spray 9X13 pan with nonstick spray (I prefer to use my homemade nonstick spray-> here) My mom is all about her metal pans but I am all about the Pyrex glass pans! I think every comes out so much better. I have the one pictured and love it, the handles make it great for removing from the oven if you are clumsy like me!! Plus you can order one on Amazon so you don’t even have to leave the house, order, and then the UPS man is at the door when you use Amazon Prime 2 day delivery! (Don’t have Prime? You NEED for easy online shopping!!)

Cut each cinnamon roll into about sixths from the package
Now a good knife is a must have in any kitchen! I picked up this Aicok Knife (HERE)for under $10, but it’s keeps going out of stock often on Amazon due to how awesome it is. There are a lot of other top rated knives on Amazon at a great price. I am not the best at picking out Knives so when I can read reviews to find a good quality knife it’s a win for me.

I see that there is melted butter in the ingredients but it doesn’t say anywhere in the recipe instructions where to add it. I did it without for this time.
