This Cheesy Sausage Egg Casserole is an old-fashioned breakfast or brunch dish that tastes SO good. Every casserole should have cheese and this one is no exception!
Cheesy Sausage Egg Casserole can be made ahead.
I have a special casserole cookbook, comprised of lots of handwritten, delicious recipes. (find it here on Amazon) This Sausage Egg Casserole is one of those. It's terrific. With only 7 ingredients, it's a good make-ahead dish for company.
Breakfast casseroles like this one are my favorite go-tos when I have overnight guests. Mix it up the night before, refrigerate it and let the flavors meld. Then just pop it in the oven in the morning. It smells and tastes amazing.
Menu Pairing
Add a fruit salad, fresh squeezed juice, and some terrific coffee for a simple breakfast. Or make it a brunch with a couple of salad options, fruit, cheese, and more.
What You Need
For this recipe, you need measuring cups and spoons, a knife, a cutting board, a casserole dish, and a saute pan. Do yourself a favor and buy the best you can afford. But what you really want is a fancy juicer and an amazing espresso machine, am I right?
