Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Sausage and Egg Casserole.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, grab a large skillet and heat it over medium-high.
Step 3
Add in the bulk pork sausage, stirring it frequently as it cooks.
Step 4
Youâll want it to become crumbly, beautifully browned, and completely cooked throughâthis should take about 10 minutes.
Step 5
Once itâs done, drain any excess grease to keep your dish light and delicious.
Step 6
Next, in a spacious mixing bowl, crack open some eggs and give them a good whisk.
Step 7
Then, pour in the milk, sprinkle in the salt, and add a dash of ground mustard.
Step 8
Mix everything together until itâs well combined and smooth.
Step 9
Now, itâs time to add some heartiness to your dish! Gently fold in the bread cubes, the cooked sausage, and a generous amount of shredded Cheddar cheese.
Step 10
Make sure everything is evenly coated in that creamy egg mixtureâthis is where the magic happens! Lightly grease a 7x11-inch baking dish with some cooking spray, then pour your delightful mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 11
To let those flavors mingle and deepen, cover the dish with plastic wrap and pop it in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or even better, overnight.
Step 12
This step is key for a truly flavorful casserole! When youâre ready to bake, take the casserole out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Step 13
This little pause helps it cook evenly.
Step 14
Now, itâs time to bake! Place your dish in the preheated oven and let it bake for around 40 minutes.
Step 15
Youâll know itâs ready when a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Step 16
As the aroma fills your kitchen, youâll be counting down the minutes until you can dig in.
Step 17
Enjoy your delicious creation!.
