Happy New Year! This year I’m focused on getting ahead of the menu game and I’m starting with this Breakfast Sausage Casserole! You can make it the night before and it’s perfect for a weekday or brunch breakfast.
In my recipe I used mild sausage and medium cheddar cheese. If you and your family love things a little more spicy, substitute the sausage for spicy and add in some pepper jack cheese!
Serve this along side some fruit and hot chocolate and you have a great morning breakfast…or dinner!
