How To Make Cream Cheese Sausage Casserole

1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180ºC) and lightly spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, pressing the seams together to seal.

2. Make the sausage and cream cheese filling: Add cream cheese, cooked sausage crumbles, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to a large mixing bowl. Stir everything together with a rubber spatula until it's well combined. Spread the sausage and cream cheese mixture over the crescent rolls.

3. Make the egg mixture: Whisk together the eggs, milk, and pepper in a bowl until well blended. Pour the egg mixture over the cream cheese sausage mixture.

4. Bake and serve: Top the entire casserole with the remaining ½ cup of cheese. Bake the casserole for 25-35 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm, and enjoy!

Variations and Tips To Make The Best Recipe

• Unroll crescent roll dough on top of the casserole instead of using cheese for a different texture.
• Make sure to use softened cream cheese for the best filling texture.
• You'll know the casserole is done when the center is set, and the eggs are fluffy.
• Cooke the sausage ahead of time. Cook the breakfast sausage the day before you make the casserole to save time.
• Add veggies to the casserole filling, like broccoli, diced bell peppers, diced tomatoes, diced mushrooms, green onions, or green chiles.
• Add garlic powder and parmesan cheese to the scrambled eggs for more flavor.
