Much easier than my other breakfast casserole recipes. Very tasty but maybe a little too much bread. But, it sure was easy!
Breakfast Sausage Casserole
This satisfying breakfast recipe is perfect to make for weekend guests. Assemble and refrigerate the casserole the night before, and just pop it in the oven the next morning. Look for turkey sausage near other breakfast-style sausage in the frozen foods section.
