I made this for a work breakfast. I wasn't a big fan, but my co-workers loved it. I put it together the night before and put it in the fridge, pulling it out in the morning to bake before going into work. I'd make it again if requested.
Cheesy Brunch Casserole
Randy Mayor; Lydia DeGaris-Pursell
Because herb-seasoned stuffing mix is the base of this casserole, you have to add only a touch of seasoning. If you'd prefer a bit of heat, substitute hot turkey Italian sausage.
