Overnight Breakfast Casserole

A few years ago we had a family reunion. My in-laws rented a house on the water in Homosassa Springs, FL. To share in the work load, each family was in charge of a different meal. My husband’s cousin and his wife were in charge of breakfast one morning. The night before they left the campfire and went inside to start preparing breakfast. I thought it was odd but I stayed and enjoyed my s’mores. The next morning breakfast was several pans of Overnight Breakfast Casserole. I was hesitant to eat it because up to that point, I wasn’t a fan of sausage. Well, I tried a few bites and fell in love! This dish proved to me I like sausage…just not sausage links. I have been making this recipe ever since that reunion weekend. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Recipe Notes

We enjoy this recipe when we are having "breakfast for supper". On those occasions I make the casserole up in the morning and bake it in the evening.
