Breakfast Sausage and Egg Casserole

"I first had this dish at a baby shower brunch about 20 years ago. It's as good today as it was back then. You may assemble it the night before and bake in the morning. Also yummy when the family wants "breakfast for dinner.""

  1. Delicious. Made as directed and the cooking time is right on. I prepped everything last night and then put it together and popped it in the oven this morning. Couldn't be much easier and lends itself to all kinds of variations. Tagged for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup.
     
  2. I was looking for an easy, but tasty egg casserole recipe with common ingredients that I typically had on hand. I've tried several others, but this recipe was by far the easiest to make. I used chicken and apple sausage and added mushrooms because that is what I had at the time and it still turned out excellent. No need for me to look further - I'll be using this recipe in the future.
     
  3. What a wonderful and home-y recipe! Very similar to a recipe I already use, so I sort of followed the same format, and so I added the bread cubes FIRST (and used more like 4 slices), then the meat sprinkled on, then the cheese. I added about a TABLESPOON of dry mustard to the eggs & milk & salt. I sprinkled the onions over the top, to keep one-quarter clear for my onion-hater to avoid. THEN I poured the egg-milk over the works. Strongly recommended as a *make-ahead* option for overnight guests or Saturday or Sunday morning. *Made for Spring 09 PAC*
     
  4. Excellent results. My first time making this and it came out perfectly. My wife tried it and , yes, she's happy...whew! Lol
     
  5. This is a yummy casserole. Followed the receipe the first time and the second time I made it I used the biscuits (cut in half) on the bottom, added 2 diced apples sauted in butter to the egg mixture. Let it sit overnight in the refrigerator. Family and friends loved it! There are so many ways to make this delicious casserole. Very easy.

  1. Big hit with the guests! I made these small modifications: used spicy italian sausage (what I had), used three fresh slices whole wheat sandwich bread, and used green onion instead of white onions. It was absolutely gorgeous cooked in a decorative pie plate, and tasted even better. A bit on the salty side, but that could have been my sausage or cheese.

<p>I'm a stay at home mother of three. 7th, 8th &amp; 11th grade. I left my corporate career&nbsp;4 years ago and have LOVED being a full time homemaker. In 2004 I finished formal training in Massage Therapy and became licensed.&nbsp; I now have my own MT practice, which I work part-time.&nbsp; I founded The Lindsey Group which is comprised of other independent therapists in my area.&nbsp; We share office space which makes it possible for all of us to be self-employed without financial burdon of monthly office lease.&nbsp; My favorite things to do are cooking and gardening. Healthy diet habits are my passion and many of my recipes are in that category. But I collect and use a lot of long time favorites from my family and my church too. My family's favorites are Caribbean Chicken with Pineapple Salsa, Mexican Lasagna, and Chicken Pot Pie. When soccer keeps me from the kitchen, my family loves it when I mix up Rice and Beans Burritos, wrap them in foil and stowe them in a cooler (no ice). We enjoy them at the soccer games. Our family favorite comfort food is Saulisbury Steak, mashed potatoes and green beans (not quite in the healthy category). That's a Southern meal in anyone's book! For good nutrition, I supplement with Pure Liquid Herbs. If you have any questions about how nutritional herbs can improve your health, I'll be glad to answer you. Just send me a Zaar note. <br /><br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg alt= /></p>
