How to Make Sausage And Egg Breakfast Casserole Simply Recipes

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 lb Italian sausage, breaking it into 1-inch chunks. Cook in batches, ensuring space between pieces for even browning, until browned on all sides (about 8-10 minutes per batch).
  3. Remove sausage from skillet and drain on paper towels. Crumble into smaller pieces.
  4. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter.
  5. Place 6 cups (6 slices) cubed bread into the prepared pan.
  6. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the bread.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups milk, 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Pour egg mixture evenly over the bread and cheese.
  9. Sprinkle crumbled sausage over the top. (Optional: add other desired ingredients like chopped vegetables or herbs).
  10. Cover the casserole and refrigerate overnight (optional, for make-ahead convenience).
  11. If not refrigerating, let sit for 10 minutes before baking.
  12. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  13. Bake uncovered for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  14. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
