My guys love breakfast foods AND they love a good casserole, so that slice of heaven that you see above is their idea of a perfect meal.

I happen to be a big fan of this dish as well…for the taste and the fact that it’s so easy to prepare. With this casserole, you make it the day before and then bake it up when you need it. Obviously with the festive colors, it’s the ultimate Christmas morning meal that you can prep in advance and bake up when you wake up on Christmas Day. BUT…I happen to love it for a regular weekend OR weeknight meal.

Yes, you’ll notice that I said weeknight meal.

Breakfast for dinner is one of the most popular meals that I make. When I know I am going to have a hectic day, I make life easy by making this breakfast casserole! Made with the great taste of Purnell’s Sausage, it really is the perfect meal that your whole family will love.

To get started, you just cook a couple of rolls of Purnell’s Sausage with a chopped onion. I think a roll of medium and a roll of hot is the perfect combination. But, you can feel free to adjust based on your taste buds. I think two rolls of hot would be amazing…but I have to keep my boys in mind. Jake is a little more sensitive to spice than the rest of us.

From there you start assembling the casserole.

Spray your casserole dish with cooking spray and then add all of the seasoned croutons to the bottom of the dish.

The next layer is the good stuff…that tasty Purnell’s sausage that was browned with the onion. Just spread it evenly over the crouton/cheese layers.
