Cheesy Sausage Overnight Breakfast Casserole
That is one of the many reasons we are so excited to be partnering with Jones Dairy Farm.
I am sure I have mentioned it before, but I am the “queen of over overnight and make ahead breakfasts”. It’s not some exciting honor that has been bequeathed to me. It actually arose out of necessity and I blame my mom as I am sure it’s some gene that she passed along to me. I am a total night owl. I can go until the wee hours of the morning without batting an eye, but I am slow going when I wake up.
I remember trying to get my mom to wake up Christmas morning so we could open presents. It just about took a pot of coffee and a funnel. haha. In her defense, she was up until 4am ‘waiting for Santa’.
So, needless to say, Christmas morning breakfast would be a major challenge or it would be served at lunch time if I didn’t plan ahead. So, I started creating ways to make breakfast the night before and enjoy it the next morning hot out of the oven, like these and these.

Feeding a crowd during the holidays is that much less stressful too. I stumble out of bed and grab the casserole that I prepared the night before (during my normal hours), and I toss it in the oven. Now, I have time to wake up while breakfast is cooking. Easy peasy!
My latest obsession is this Cheesy Sausage Overnight Breakfast Casserole that starts with Jones Dairy Farm All-Natural Pork Sausage Roll. It is my absolute favorite sausage. With just 4 ingredients (Pork, water, salt, spices) I can feel good about feeding my family.
I love being able to start with a flavorful canvas and really take it over the top. So, I fry up the sausage with red pepper and maple syrup to create a heavenly fusion of my favorite flavors. It is heat and sweet all in one savory bite. Imagine that speckled throughout this fabulous breakfast!
Fluffy seasoned eggs and cubes of sourdough bread, sweet heat sausage and sharp cheddar come together to create a glorious breakfast casserole that they will be talking about long after the dishes are cleared.
