BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Next Sunday it's my turn to help with breakfast in our Sunday School class.

Here's what I'm taking this time. I tried a new recipe from Pinterest. It has fewer ingredients than the sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast casserole I've been making for years and doesn't have to be prepared the night before. I loved it--maybe more than my older recipe.

Ingredients:

1 lb of sausage (mild or hot)

1-1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese (regular or sharp)

1-8 oz bar of cream cheese (softened) 

1 can of Pilsbury crescent rolls

6 large eggs

1/2 cup of milk

salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Brown the sausage and drain. As sausage cooks, roll out the crescent rolls and line a 13 x 9 baking dish with them. Pinch the seams together. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 

Combine the sausage, cream cheese, and 1 cup of the cheddar cheese. Spread over the rolls. 

Mix the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper and pour over casserole. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until it starts browning and the middle is set. I used mild sausage and regular cheddar cheese. I will probably try the hot sausage next time to add a little more flavor. It was also good heated in the microwave. I took it to school and had it for breakfast a couple of days. :-)

This is the first recipe I've tried from Plain Chicken, but I've pinned lots of her recipes. They all look so good. I will be trying more!
