How to Make Sausage Egg Casserole
Mix up this sausage breakfast casserole and refrigerate overnight. You’ll bake it in the morning for about an hour and then you’re ready to serve your guests. Here are the key steps.
- Crumble and cook sausage until cooked through. When complete, drain it on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
- Combine all the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. You only have one dish to clean!
- Pour mixture into a 2-quart baking dish. Use glass or ceramic for easiest cleanup.
- Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
- Take the casserole out of the refrigerator and place into a cold oven. Turn it on to 350 degrees.
- Bake for about an hour or until the center is cooked through. Insert a knife into the middle and make sure it comes out clean.
- Serve a bowl of salsa or pico de gallo on the side for a delicious accouterments. I also like to sprinkle a bit of fresh cilantro after baking {love that stuff!}.
HOSTESS TIP: Never put a cold casserole dish into a hot oven. The extreme temperature change can shock the dish and break it.
Variations
- Lean in to the Tex-Mex flavor and use Mexican chorizo instead of sausage, for a spicier option.
- Lighten up the meat choice by using low fat sausage, chicken sausage, or turkey sausage.
- Substitute the pepper-jack cheese with shredded cheddar, white cheddar, Swiss, or Asiago.
