If I am being honest, I think breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. You get all the delicious tastes and protein and you can put it all in one dish! My husband loves this meal so much especially when I add some extra bacon to it.
You can play around with this meal. You can add extra bacon, ham, or any type of vegetables you think your kids will eat! Broccoli and peppers would taste amazing. But, I am pretty partial to how it is since it is super simple to throw together!
You can also make this up the night before and then throw it in the oven when you wake up in the morning. Talk about easy! You could even serve this sausage casserole for dinner.
You could also serve this easily with other dishes like our loaded egg bell pepper rings, overnight apple french toast recipe, or some extremely delicious cinnamon roll french bread bake.

See exactly how to make up this sausage breakfast casserole (no bread needed):
To make this breakfast casserole start by preheating the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Next, in the skillet cook up the ground sausage over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Make sure that it browns up completely. Then drain the grease.
Then, unroll the crescent rolls and spread them out into the bottom of the 9×13 inch pan. Press the seams together making it into one large sheet of dough (if you find that your store sells it this way that would work too!).
Now, spread the sausage evenly over top of the dough. Then top the sausage with the shredded cheddar cheese (you can also add in other flavors of cheese here as well if you want).
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, oregano, salt, and pepper together until they are well combined.
Next, pour the egg and spices mixture over top of the cheese and sausage layer. It should just about cover the sausage.
Once the eggs and sausage layers have been completed, place the 9 x 13 inch pan in the oven and bake it for about 15-20 minutes or until the crust starts to turn a nice golden brown and the eggs are completely set up.
Do you like to play around with the recipes to suit your family?
Feel free to do that with this recipe! You can have fun with this casserole making any substitutions you want by adding ham or bacon, veggies (asparagus or mushrooms are good), and some other cheese flavors.

Try putting in some sage into the sausage to give it a bit more bite, blend with some garlic and BAM!!!
New take on a great base!
