Which Sausage Should I Use?

This recipe calls for savory sausage and I chose Pork Sausage, however you can use any type of cooked sausage from chicken to beef to turkey sausage or hot Italian sausage. Just be prepared for a kick in flavor when using spicy sausage.

Avoid ground sausage or breakfast sausage mixture as this is a family meal rather than a sausage breakfast casserole recipe.

This casserole can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. To make sure it lasts even longer, you can freeze it for up to six months. When you’re ready to reheat, simply place the frozen casserole in an oven preheated to 180 degrees Celsius and cook it until heated through.
