Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, I start by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that my casserole cooks evenly and comes out perfectly golden. While the oven is warming up, I pull out a large skillet and cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until it’s nicely browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. The aroma of the sausage sizzling is already making my kitchen feel inviting! Once the sausage is browned, I drain the excess fat and set it aside. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
