Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Breakfast Casserole with Sausage and Cheddar.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, grab a 9x13-inch baking dish and give it a light spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

3. Step 3

   Next, unroll the crescent roll dough and gently spread it across the bottom of the prepared dish, making sure it covers every inch.

4. Step 4

   To help the dough bake evenly, take a fork and prick it all over.

5. Step 5

   Once your oven is ready, pop the baking dish inside and let it bake for about 5 minutes, just until the dough is slightly set and ready for the delicious toppings to come.

6. Step 6

   While the crust is baking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

7. Step 7

   Add in the ground sausage along with a splash of water, cooking and stirring until the sausage is beautifully browned and crumbly, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

    As they cook, gently break the eggs into small pieces with a wooden spoon, creating fluffy scrambled eggs that will add a delightful texture to your casserole.

13. Step 13

    Once your crust is ready, it’s time to layer on the goodness! Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the crescent roll dough, followed by the savory cooked sausage.

14. Step 14

    Top it all off with a generous sprinkle of shredded Cheddar cheese, which will melt beautifully as it bakes.
