This cinnamon roll casserole is one of the best breakfast on a comfy morning, and fairly presumably the best! It’s just like a French toast casserole, made fast and mess-free with a tube of Pillsbury cinnamon rolls.

There’s simply sufficient time to crisp up some air fryer bacon whereas the casserole is within the oven!

I like making this for the youngsters on weekends, but it surely’s additionally nice for extra formal events, like the vacations.
