Christmas morning will be here before we know it. If Christmas mornings are anything like ours here, then breakfast is something that gets lost in the shuffle.

With young kids, gift opening is what takes center stage. As quickly as the paper can be ripped off, the toys and more still need to be opened properly. This can take quite a bit longer.

Therefore, breakfast preparation is not something that there seems to be enough hours in the day on Christmas.

So, I have had to find ways to get around this. One year, I made a Cinnamon Bun Christmas Tree made out of Pillsbury Cinnamon Buns. While this was easy enough, I still had to put this together before baking in the oven.

Because this warm, hearty and delicious breakfast can be prepared the night before. So I don’t have to worry about any prep work for this on Christmas morning.

See I can simply add all my ingredients in my Instant Pot using the crockpot/slow cooker setting. Then, I leave it over night to cook up.
