Sausage Egg Casserole

Submitted by Michelle Berteig

"My sister made this recipe and it was delicious, very creamy in texture! Also freezes well. This recipe is very versatile. Instead of the turkey Italian sausage, you could use bulk breakfast sausage. You can also add any veggies you like. Artichoke hearts are particularly good. Rotel (diced tomatoes and green chiles) is also very good in this. Enjoy!"

This was a very nice breakfast casserole and very creamy. The flavors went together very well. I used Italian sausage instead of the turkey, and loved the flavor it added. Very easy to put together too. Thanks Michelle
