Do you have a recipe that you make over and over at your house? This breakfast casserole is one of those dishes for us. I make this casserole almost every week for breakfast throughout the week. It’s my Sunday afternoon ritual because it’s just so delicious.
Easy Make-ahead Breakfast
One of the wonderful things about this recipe is how easy it is to make.
You can spend a few minutes to put together this recipe the night before and place it in the refrigerator to bake the next morning.
It would be perfect for a family breakfast or brunch.
The Spice of Life
Everything But The Kitchen Sink
This is an “everything but the kitchen sink” recipe where you can add just about anything that you want.
If I have some leftover mozzarella cheese, I’ll add that in.
If I don’t have any green chiles, I’ll leave that out.
I’ve used just about every type of sausage.
I prefer to use the Jimmy Dean pre-cooked turkey sausage crumbles just because it’s so easy and quick.
If I have some leftover sausage patties, I’ll sometimes chop them up with a knife and add the extra sausage into the recipe.
Have you ever tried Slap Ya Mama Cajun seasoning?
What other hot seasoning mixes would you recommend?
I hope you’ll try this recipe and let us know what you think.
