Cheesy Breakfast Pie

I had this at my niece's house recently...it's easy to make up and makes a ton, so it's perfect for a family gathering. The original recipe calls for a pie pan, but she just used a 9x13 in pan with great success. Also, she said she said that you can cook the sausage up the night before so that the next morning all you have to do is mix everything together and bake it. Hope you enjoy!
