Overnight Sausage Egg Breakfast Casserole
I have two goals with it comes to cooking and eating. I want something easy to prepare and I want to eat with my family.
Overnight Breakfast Sausage Casserole makes a time-saving breakfast or dinner. You can simply make it 6 to 8 hours ahead of time, then bake when you’re ready. One of the ingredients that also help in the meal prep of this casserole recipe is Hormel Real Bacon Bits. Hormel Bacon Toppings enhance your meals, snack, and salads with the delicious flavor of 100% real bacon. They’re pre-cooked, diced and ready to top your favorite recipe!
I’m a big advocate of eating meals together as a family. It’s always been my goal to eat at least 4 meals a week together. It’s been relatively easy so far for us to do that. I know as the boys get older, it’ll become more difficult. It’s important, as studies have should, so I encourage you to eat family meals together… and of course, make this casserole for that meal!
