Tips:

  • To ensure your sausage casserole is cooked evenly, it's best to use a large skillet or Dutch oven that's big enough to hold all the ingredients comfortably.
  • For a more flavorful casserole, opt for high-quality sausage that's made with natural ingredients and spices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the sausage. If necessary, cook the sausage in batches to prevent it from steaming instead of browning.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your casserole for added flavor and nutrition. Some popular choices include potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, and peppers.
  • If you're using canned vegetables, be sure to drain and rinse them thoroughly before adding them to the casserole.
  • Season your casserole generously with salt and pepper, and feel free to add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • To achieve a crispy, golden crust on top of your casserole, sprinkle some bread crumbs or crushed crackers over the top before baking.
  • Serve your sausage casserole hot, with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side salad.
