Made for brunch for 7 adults paired with Paula Deen's chocolate croissant bread pudding. Huge hit and easy to make. Used precooked chicken apple sausage so didn't remove casing. Made and baked the night before and just reheated at 250 for 20 min the next morning. Will substitute Morningstar sausage patties if I need to make it veg in the future.

Used turkey sausage but otherwise made as published. I think some chopped green pepper would be good in it too. I will have to play around with spices - it was good, but could have used some sort of kick...maybe hot italian sausage? Leftovers, like another reviewer posted, look like they'd be perfect for a breakfast burrito!

Absolutely delicious! We cater and are always looking for new and exciting recipes to offer our clients. Food Network is the first place I check for recipes. We had rave reviews when we served this for a breakfast recently. I was the first to admit, this was not my recipe, and told them all where they could find it. I plan on using this casserole dish for many more events and family gatherings!!
