Celebrate Christmas Morning With This Cinnamon Roll Casserole

In my family, the Christmas morning tradition was simple. Presents, then breakfast. That breakfast was my mom's recipe for cinnamon rolls. They were amazing and a long-standing family ritual.

Jim Gilles, from Hill View Farms Meats in Owensboro, has a similar family tradition and, this year, he's serving it up with a twist. Jim recently found a recipe on TikTok and adapted it to feature some products he stocks at his farm store.
