Looking for a filling, crowd-pleaser that works any time of day? This sausage and egg casserole has you covered. It's total comfort food—simple to throw together, loaded with protein, and totally adaptable to what your family likes. Let's get into making the tastiest sausage and egg casserole ever.

Essential Ingredients

  • Eggs: They form your casserole foundation, giving it richness and holding everything together.
  • Sausage: Pick whatever kind you enjoy—regular breakfast links, Italian, or something with a kick.
  • Milk: Brings a smooth creaminess to your eggs. Full-fat works best here.
  • Cheese: Grab some shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or whatever blend you prefer.
  • Bread (optional): Cube some up and put it on the bottom for extra substance.

Simple Steps to Follow

Cook your sausage:
Brown it in a pan over medium heat until done. Pour off the extra fat.
Mix your eggs:
Beat eggs, milk, and your chosen seasonings in a big bowl until they're nice and blended.
Build your layers:
In a buttered baking dish, spread out sausage, bread chunks if using, and sprinkle cheese. Pour your egg mix over everything.
Pop it in the oven:
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 30-40 minutes, until the middle isn't jiggly and the top looks golden.
Let it sit:
Give it 5 minutes to cool down before cutting into squares.

Tasty Companions

This dish goes great with some fresh fruit, toast, or a light salad. For a fancier brunch, add mimosas or fresh coffee on the side.

Your Own Twist

  • Add Some Heat: Mix in chopped jalapeños or swap in hot sausage.
  • Pack In Veggies: Try adding fresh tomatoes, sliced zucchini, or chopped kale.
  • Fit Your Needs: Go for meat-free sausage if you don't eat meat, or skip the bread for fewer carbs.

Saving For Later

Keep what's left in a sealed container in your fridge for up to 4 days. When you want more, warm single portions in the microwave or heat the whole thing in a 350°F (175°C) oven until it's hot through.

This sausage and egg casserole isn't just tasty—it's also super practical. Whether you've got company coming or you're cooking ahead for busy mornings, you'll find yourself making this again and again.
