Sausage and Egg Casserole
For the perfect combination of eggs, sausage, bread and cheese, this is the dish to try. My mom and I like this sausage breakfast casserole because it bakes up tender and golden, slices beautifully and goes over well whenever we serve it. —Gayle Grigg, Phoenix, Arizona

I used my favorite chicken and artichoke sausage and it was delicious! My family loved this dish.
Can you use biscuits instead of bread cubed pieces?

My family loved this dish!!! I used Jimmy Dean sausage bits prepackaged and diced ham to save time, I cubed 5 slices of 3-cheese artisan bread, used 12 eggs, 1.5 cups milk, 2 cups Mexican cheese blend and added onion powder, garlic powder and salt & pepper. Scrumptious!! I was worried it’d be dry but it was perfectly moist.
I think this dish really depends on quality of sausage used. (The better the flavor of sausage, the better the end result.) For us, this dish comes out perefect everytime....it's a great, easy to follow recipe. Love that you can make the night before and save on prep time (which is aces for a morning event), but I have also made without letting it set overnight and still comes out wonderful.
Very tasty. I added dried minced onion
Now that we are currently sheltering in place, I've been managing the pantry fridge and freezer contents with greater attention. I found myself with three dozen eggs, six Jimmy Dean turkey sausages and a half pound of chorizo. I decided to make this casserole, but had no white bread. Way back in the freezer I found three slices of prepared garlic bread (the kind that is buttered and seasoned). So that's the bread I substituted in the recipe. After cooking the chorizo and using a paper towel to sop up the grease, I added the sliced turkey sausage to mix in with the chorizo. I added the sausage to the egg mixture, which I made with only one cup of milk based on the remarks of other reviewers, and the diced garlic bread. We're not cheese lovers, so I left out the cheese, which cuts a lot of calories out too. The chorizo and garlic bread made for a very flavorful and delicious dish.
I have made this also using sliced deli ham and adding mushrooms. Makes a delicious holiday brunch. I also serve with a side of home fries and fresh in season fruit.
This is delicious and easy to make. We used Lactose-Free 2% Milk, Jimmy Dean sage sausage, and chopped onion (cooked with the sausage...maybe half a cup or more). Perhaps some chopped/diced parsley on top when you serve it. I was surprised how tasty this was.
It’s so good! You can use any sausage or bacon. We used ham the other day from a leftover spiral cut ham! A good idea for lever ham from Easter ??! We’ve used leftover bagels as the bread and I’ve even added Potatoes O'Brien. I only use a little over a cup of milk though. *I’m wondering if you can freeze half of it after you bake it. It made a lot. I know I could half the recipe but needed to get rid of the milk and bread before it went bad.
