Overnight Breakfast Sausage Casserole with Bread

When I look to make a new breakfast casserole, for some reason I always reach for the sausage. And, I must admit, the carbs, too. This is a good easy sausage breakfast casserole with bread as the main filler – accompanied by the usual suspects, including eggs, milk and cheese.

Maybe the best part? It’s an overnight casserole with bread where the eggs and milk have a chance to soak into the casserole really well over night. Delicious!

Can Sausage Breakfast Casserole be Frozen?

This isn’t a great breakfast casserole to freeze (sorry!). But, it’s about as easy as it comes since it can be made the night before. However, one time saving tip would be to cook and crumble the sausage the night before. Drain and freeze the sausage and put it in a quart size freezer bag and store it in the fridge for up to a couple days before using, or put it in the freezer. Either will do the trick and will save you about ten minutes.
