This is pretty much the only breakfast casserole I’ve ever made or feel like I need to make. I got this recipe from my M-I-L and it has served me well over our 3 years of marriage so far. I have made it A LOT over the years for BRINNER (breakfast for dinner), company, and just to last us on a tight budgeted week.
This recipe makes a ton of food, so it’s great for weeks when I don’t want to have to cook a lot during the week and we need plenty of leftovers. This casserole is so good that my husband and I will sometimes fight over who gets to finish it! We take ours smothered in ketchup, please. Yes, that’s another weird habit I’ve picked up from the hubs. I used to think it was so weird to put salsa or ketchup on your eggs and now I’m one of those weirdos too.
As you may have noticed, Jess and I tend to prefer recipes that are EASY and quick to prepare. We are both at a stage in our lives where we have a ton going on and pulling us in different directions so we need recipes that are simple, no-fuss, and to the point.
Ingredients:
8 eggs
2 c milk
7 slices white bread torn into small pieces (take off the crust)
1 t salt
1 t mustard
1 lb Jimmy Dean sausage (cooked)
1 & 1/2 c shredded cheddar
Directions:
Beat eggs, add milk, sausage, bread & seasonings. Bake at 350 for 45 min or until done.
See, easy peasy! I hope that you and your family enjoy this recipe as much as we do! If you are looking for more recipes like this, check out our archives here.










I don’t understand what you do with the bread.
You just rip it into small pieces and evenly distribute through your other ingredients to give it some weight. Let me know if this helps.
Just wondering, you have a can of chicken broth in the picture, do you use it?
Angela,
My mistake! Wrong picture…sorry about that.
This is our best basic breakfast casserole you wanted to try @howtosimplify. Enjoy! http://t.co/igUKQ2SR
Can I mix the ingredients the night before and put in in a baking dish to cook the next morning? It looks so yummy!!
Roberta, I’ve never tried that but I believe my M-I-L has…if you do, let us know how it goes!
