KIDS FAVORITE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE



Kids Favorite Breakfast Casserole image

Are you ready for yet another breakfast casserole? This one is slightly different than the others I saw listed as it has only 5 ingredients, no mustard, and since I make it with sausage, the meat adds all the flavor my kids want. I usually serve it Christmas morning with either orange-marmalade or cranberry-walnut apple muffins.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your casserole the best flavor. If possible, buy organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: If you're using pasta in your casserole, be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and ruin the texture of your casserole.
  • Layer the ingredients: When assembling your casserole, layer the ingredients in a way that will create the most flavor. For example, you might layer a layer of cooked pasta, a layer of sauce, a layer of cheese, and then a layer of breadcrumbs.
  • Bake the casserole until it's bubbly: The casserole is done baking when it's bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
