Notes

  • Grease your casserole dish before adding the ingredients so that it is easy to remove and serve.
  • Be sure to drain the sausage of any excess grease or the casserole can become to oily.
  • The casserole is baked when the edges are set and there is a very slight jiggle in the center.
  • If making ahead of time, let cool fully before storing.
