Sausage Breakfast Casserole
When I need a breakfast dish that won’t weigh me down, I make my hearty sausage egg casserole. It has all of the meaty, cheesy goodness I crave, with barely any carbs. I love that it comes together quickly, and I often assemble it the night before for an easy sausage breakfast casserole that’s perfect for feeding a crowd.
Folks, let me tell you, nothing makes me more egg-cited for mornings than a fabulous breakfast casserole! One of my favorite kinds of recipes in this category are make ahead recipes that take barely any effort to assemble, but impress everyone at the table and taste egg-cellent. (Sorry, I’m done now.) This classic sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast casserole is packed with protein and comforting flavors, yet comes together in about 10 minutes with a few pantry staples. It’s become one of our family’s top-requested dishes for big brunches and holiday gatherings, and I’m sure your fam will love it, too!
