    LOVED this recipe! I don't eat pork, so substituted the ham with 1 package of deli turkey and turkey bacon. Absolutely delicious! I think if one follows the recipe exactly (using the right size baking pan etc... it comes out correctly. I used only two bananas as they were fairly large, and sliced them thinly. Definitely a repeater meal and loved by all.

    This was a very interesting recipe and tried it out on just my husband................I wanted to test it out first, to make sure I liked it, before I served it to guests. You never know, ever ones tastes buds are different and I didn't want a disaster. Turns out, even my husband liked it and I'll try it out on my family at the next family function. I've read some of the reviews, and it sounds to me that people should think about such different food combinations that they might not like, before trying out a recipe for the first time for guests..........I have no sympathy for people who don't like a recipe they serve to guests, before trying it out, experimenting with it, first. Also, if you don't feel you would like a banana in this recipe, try pinapple, instead.............even Paula, herself, said she couldn't believe how many people put pinapple on pizza.......taste buds are all relative..........

    I would prefer to rate this a zero...but as I can't ...it's a 1...was simply awful. I was a huge fan of the show until we made this. My family wouldn't eat it...dogs wouldn't eat it. What a waste of time and money.

    Eh. I agree, the bananas aren't great. I love sweet and savory, but the cooked bananas fail unless in bananas foster (greyish brown, but remained firm and not mushy as others said- still less than desireable. Due to all of the "soggy" comments, I added an extra egg yolk. Consistency was fine and actual casserole part was good. I would add extra cheese in the layers and on top in final minutes of cooking so it can actually rate the "cheesy" of its title.

    The bread is so soggy that it ruins the rest of the dish. The top part was good with the bacon, cheese, and potato chips. However, the banana and soggy bread ruined the dish. I peeled off the top part for the kids to eat. Major waste of money!

    I have made this Casserole twice. The first time with the bananas did not care for the bananas being so mushy. The second time I made it I did with out the bananas and used crushed pineapple and it was so much better the pineapple complimented the ham and I used deli thin sliced hame instaed of thick ham. It was sooo much better. But I don't think I'll make it again. It was okay but not the rock your socks casserole.

    I think i know where she was trying to go with this. An all in one breakfast with french toast with bananas, eggs bacon and ham with potatoes. Sounds and smells great but ends up being very soggy and unappealing.

    I have made this casserole for Easter Brunch two years in a row now, and it is delicious. The combination of sweet banana with savory ham is fantastic. I slice my bananas very thin and use about half of what the recipe calls for so they are not overpowering- I like just a touch of sweetness. I also like to use Black Forest Ham sliced very thin.
