Our family's holiday dinners always include Sister Schubert's Parker House Style Rolls.  So having Sister Schubert at our Thanksgiving dinner table was a given.  
But this year ... thanks to the convenience and deliciousness of Sister's Cinnamon Rolls ... Sister Schubert's joined us at our holiday breakfast  table, too.


In the form of amazing, irresistibly delicious, and cinnamon-comfort Overnight Cinnamon Roll Casserole, made easy with Sister Schubert's Cinnamon Yeast Rolls.

And whipping up this yummy breakfast treat truly couldn't be much simple.  It makes it easy to serve cinnamon roll deliciousness to a crowd, for sure.

Simply start with 2 pans of Sister Schubert's Cinnamon Yeast Rolls, found in the freezer section of many grocery stores.  While still in the pan they come in, slice them up by just running a knife through them in both directions.

Then toss the cinnamon roll pieces in a baking dish and pour an egg-and-milk-and-cinnamon mixture all over them.

Finally, sprinkle on a super tasty brown sugar and pecan topping.

Refrigerate overnight {or for at least 4 hours}, and then bake the casserole up until it's all nice and golden brown.

Easy, right?

And beautiful.  And I-want-to-dig-in-with-my-fork-RIGHT-NOW yummy looking.

I like to top my Overnight Cinnamon Roll Casserole with a drizzle of pure maple syrup.  And then dive in to the cinnamon goodness.  All thanks to the ease and deliciousness of Sister Schubert's Cinnamon Rolls.

Totally worthy of being a new holiday breakfast tradition, don't you think?

  • 6 eggs, beaten
  • 2 c. half-and-half
  • 1 c. milk

How to cook Overnight Cinnamon Roll Casserole

  1. Spray a 9x13" baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Cut cinnamon rolls into approximately 1-inch pieces: while still in the foil pan, run a knife through the rolls, making slices about 1/2-inch apart; rotate pan and repeat making slices perpendicular to the first slices. Place cinnamon roll pieces in the prepared baking pan, breaking up any large pieces with your fingers.
  2. Warm the icing packets that come in the cinnamon roll packages in the microwave for about 8 to 10 seconds. Drizzle/drip icing over the top of the cut cinnamon roll pieces.
  3. Combine beaten eggs, half-and-half, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt; whisk until well combined. Pour evenly over cinnamon roll pieces.
  4. Combine chopped pecans, brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and butter in a small bowl. Cut with a pastry cutter, two knives, or your fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the cinnamon rolls.
  5. Cover and refrigerate overnight {or at least 4 hours}.
  6. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes until golden brown and set in the center. Serve with maple syrup to drizzle over the top.

    1. That's a quote we hear a lot in our house, too, Sandy H.! Since your family loves warms rolls, you guys should give Sister Schubert's rolls a try ... I highly, highly recommend the Parker House Style Rolls and we especially love the Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls. I swear, my husband eats 5 or 6 of them at a meal!

  23. Never heard of Sister Schubert's brand of rolls. I'm from the Midwest and I don't usually buy rolls at all. I make them! Where do you get them??

    1. Homemade rolls are fabulous! But when you need a shortcut, Sister Schubert's are the BEST!! You can buy them in the freezer section at Walmart. I'm not sure what other Midwestern grocery stores carry them. Thank you so much for stopping by The Kitchen is My Playground!

  38. can I use a 9 in round pan? If using canned roll do I use one or two?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. We would use a 9X13. If, however you use a 9 in pan you will need to adjust the recipe. The size of the 9in pan is roughly half of a 9X13.
