Tina's Overnight Sausage & Egg Casserole image

A former co-worker shared this recipe with me. It is rich and ohhhh so yummy. I only make this once a year, on Christmas Eve, and pop it into the oven Christmas morning as we open gifts. This is still a rather rich dish, although I have lightned it up from Tina's full fat original version. By all means, if you prefer full fat versions, please do so.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover sausage. It's also a great make-ahead breakfast or brunch dish.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my casserole turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much milk.

I found this casserole to be a bit bland. I would add more spices next time.

This casserole was a little too dry for my taste. I think I would add more milk or cream next time.

I'm not a big fan of sausage, but I really enjoyed this casserole. The eggs were fluffy and the cheese was gooey. I would definitely make this again.

This is my go-to recipe for a quick and easy breakfast. I love that I can make it the night before and just pop it in the oven in the morning.
