Easy Breakfast Casserole with Sausage and Cheese

A breakfast casserole with sausage and cheese brings bread, browned breakfast sausage, eggs, cheese, ground mustard, milk, salt, and pepper into one 9×13-inch dish. Cookinwithbabe’s version can be baked in either a grill or an oven set to 350°F.

Watch How to Make It

The bread forms the bottom layer, followed by the sausage. The egg, cheese, mustard, milk, salt, and pepper are whisked together separately before being poured over both layers.

Why You'll Love This Recipe

This casserole starts with cubed bread in a lightly greased casserole dish, then adds a layer of browned and drained breakfast sausage. The remaining ingredients are whisked together and poured evenly across the dish.

It bakes at 350°F for 40-45 minutes. The recipe gives a clear finish point: bake until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown, then let it cool slightly before serving warm.

The sausage is browned and drained before it goes into the casserole dish. That means the assembly begins with cooked sausage alongside the cubed bread and the whisked egg and milk ingredients.

Ingredients You'll Need

Use 2 slices of bread, cubed, for the bottom of the casserole dish. Add 1 pound of breakfast sausage that has been browned and drained over the bread.

For the egg layer, use 6 beaten eggs, 1 cup shredded cheese, 1 teaspoon ground mustard, 2 cups milk, and salt and pepper to taste. These ingredients are whisked together in a mixing bowl until well combined.

The bread and sausage are placed in the casserole dish before the egg ingredients are added. Once poured over the top, the egg ingredients should coat the bread and sausage evenly.

How To Make It

Set out the cubed bread, browned and drained sausage, and the ingredients for the egg layer before assembling the casserole. The recipe uses a lightly greased 9×13-inch casserole dish and a grill or oven preheated to 350°F.

Preheat the grill or oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.

Spread the cubed bread evenly across the bottom of the dish. Layer the browned and drained breakfast sausage over the bread.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, shredded cheese, ground mustard, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Pour the egg ingredients evenly over the bread and sausage, making sure everything is well coated.

Bake the casserole at 350°F for 40-45 minutes. It is done when the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.

Allow the casserole to cool slightly after baking. Serve it warm.

Serving & Variations

Serve the casserole warm after it has cooled slightly. The bread, sausage, and egg layer are all baked together in the same casserole dish.

Pro-tip: Make sure the bread and sausage are evenly covered when the egg ingredients are poured into the dish. The instructions specifically call for coating everything before baking, so take a moment to pour the egg ingredients across the full surface rather than in one spot.

Wrapping Up

This breakfast casserole follows a straightforward layer-and-pour method, then bakes until set with a golden brown top. Let it cool slightly and serve warm. Recipe created by Cookinwithbabe for Trust Me Try It.
