- Ground Breakfast Sausage: We like to use Jimmy Dean Mild Breakfast Sausage, but the hot variety will suffice as well.
- Cream Cheese: Use full fat cream cheese and not low fat. Our favorite to use is Kraft Philadelphia Cream Cheese, however, you can use another brand if you wish
- Crescent Roll Dough: This dough forms a bottom and top crust in the casserole. Don’t skip it.
- Onions: Adding a few vegetables into the mix makes the recipe pop.
- Scrambled Eggs: Eggs give the casserole a bit more protein. You can omit them if you aren’t a fan.
How Long Does Sausage Casserole Last?
This casserole can last up to 3 days if properly stored in the refrigerator. Allow it to come to room temperature and add left overs to a glass container preferably with a lid for protection. We recommend the ones from Pyrex.
What Size Dish Can Be Used to Make This Sausage Breakfast Casserole?
To hold the proper amount of ingredients, it is recommended to use a standard 9×13 inch size dish when you create these recipes. We enjoy using these Emile Henry casserole dishes to make ours. They come in different colors and are made with Burgundy clay for best baking/cooking results.
Another great bakeware brand are these Pyrex 9×13 casserole dishes. These are wonderful to use due to their glass exterior. Each set also comes with lids which makes it convenient for transport.
What to Serve With this Sausage Casserole
