I am lover of any kind of breakfast foods. Especially when it involves sausage and cheese. Every Christmas morning, I make Sausage Quiche, which is very similar to this casserole. It has become a Christmas morning tradition. Between opening gifts, getting your home cleaned, and preparing dinner for guest, holiday mornings or hectic, more so if you have kids. So, the last thing you want to do is wake up and cook a big breakfast. I wanted to try something different this past Easter.

So, I decided to make this Easy Sausage Breakfast casserole. My family was not disappointment, they cleaned the pan and was looking for more. However, my son said it reminded him of an omelet. Now, I cook this casserole at least once a week. The best thing about Easy Sausage Breakfast casserole is that it can be made ahead of time. I usually make it the night before and just reheat it the next morning.

Easy Sausage Breakfast Casserole Ingredients:

• Eggs–You will need 12 eggs beaten.
• Sausage– Gound sausage is needed such as a roll of jimmy dean sausage. However, you can use any brand. (I have even used deer sausage)
• Cheese– Shredded cheddar cheese is great, but if you like another type of shredded cheese, go for it.
• Milk– Whole, 2 percent or fat free milk.
• Salt & Pepper– I use ¼ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. You may want to use more or less depending on your liking.

Can Easy Breakfast casserole be made ahead?

Absolutely. It’s one of the reasons why I love this recipe. Make Easy Breakfast casserole the night before, let it cool completely, cover with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate. When ready to serve heat in oven for 20-30 minutes until heated thoroughly. You can also cut into squares and heat in microwave for one minute.
