Purim Casserole (Meat)

Ashkenazi Orthodox Jews have a saying that is translated as "There is no celebration without meat and wine." It's not a law, it's a custom, and clearly if you do not like either, that would tend to put a damper on the celebration instead of enhancing it. But the saying remains.

As the Purim seudah is a celebratory meal (you know. "They tried to kill us. They failed. Let's eat!" - pretty much the meaning of Purim), we decided it needed meat. But as it had to be eaten no later than midday, the normal yom tov style meal would be a bit much, especially with Shabbat that night. Also, as we were making it at home but taking it somewhere else, it had to be easily transportable.

And, you know. I've been wanting to try a breakfast style casserole since I first read about them.

So. This is a recipe designed to be expanded or contracted according to the number of people served. I made enough for ten, but I'll give the recipe for four.
