JK’s Sausage Casserole

  4.0 – 27 reviews  • Ground Pork Recipes

This is a fantastic Sunday brunch item. Although mild sausage also works, we prefer using hot sausage.

Took advice from the other reviews. I’ve made quiche before so I used halfnhalf instead of milk. I used 5 eggs and 1-1/4 cup of the halfnhalf for my egg mixture, added dash of garlic powder, paprika and parsley flakes and fresh ground pepper. I had some frozen potatoes O’Brien and put them in the skillet for a short bit to unfreeze them then used that as my first layer, then the meat onion mix, only used a cup of cheddar on top, the bread, then slowly added the the egg mix. Also, I mixed the onion into the sausage along with a small amount of jarred roasted red bell peppers. In the last twenty minutes of baking, I added a little bit more cheese on top and covered loosely with foil. Tastes outstanding, btw!

Cooked the onions with the ground sausage. Other than that, followed the recipe exactly and was soooo disappointed. Bread/cheese layers were gooey, soggy, and horrible. So disappointed. Waste of good sausage.

It was the most disgusting thing I have ever tasted. Worst combination ever
Debbie Smith
Easy and delicious! Hubby and I both loved it as written, had leftovers for brunch the next day and thought it was even better! Thanks for sharing
Joshua Miller
I love this recipe ! The only thing I would do differently next time is as more vegetables ( such as bell peppers , celery etc ) for taste & just free hand the cheese .
Catherine Rios
This recipe tasted great and was easy to make with things I already had on hand. I did make some minor changes. I only used 3/4 cup milk based on other reviews, I also cooked the onion while browning the sausage. I added fresh tomatoes on top of the sausage and added garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, parsley flakes, and a little cayenne pepper to my egg mixture. It was wonderful and I will definitely make this over and over again!

DELICIOUS! I added potatoes (boiled first) and some spices, a little less milk & eggs and the Whole family Loved it…Even the picky eaters!!!
Patricia Kelley
This was great! I made it for dinner last night. Even though it was really good, I think it should be called sausage breakfast casserole because even if you use regular sausage, it still tastes breakfasty. With that said, it was still very tasty.

I followed everyone else’s advice and added the seasoning salt, garlic, pepper and parsley. Good advice! I think without that, it would’ve been really bland. I used seasoned croutons instead of bread and because I have hungry boys to feed, I increased the eggs to 12. I didn’t add any milk because I saw others say that theirs came out runny. Mine was perfect! Threw a little extra grated cheddar on top and they wolfed it down! Even my picky eater loved it! Oh… One more thing… cook your onions with the sausage, unless you like them a little crunchy.

Wonderful recipe! The family absolutely loved this dish and it was so easy and perfect. I just changed a few things. I chopped the onions and sauteed them with the meat. I also added parsley flakes, pepper, garlic powder and paperika to the egg mixter. It looked amazing and tasted amazing too!

This was great and not runny at all. I halved the recipe and used a 8×8 casserole dish. I only used half a lb of hot sausage half a white onion and 4 eggs and 1 cup of milk and didn’t measure out the cheese. I did cook the onion with the sausage. This was perfectly cooked and very tasty!!! Will make again!!!!

This was easy and quick to make. My kids and hubby loved it. My hubby suggested next time to add some bell peppers and I’ll agree it would really add some flavor. I used homemade loaf bread from a recipe that I found on this website. My casserole had a slight honey flavor. Mouth watering dish!!!
Michael Robinson
I added 2 Tbsp of Herb Medley & 1 Cup of Salsa, cut back on the milk by 1/2 C and baked it for 1 hr. My husband & son both had seconds, my daughter wouldn’t touch it. Will try it again when she’s at Grandma’s :o)
Jennifer Bailey
I had the same problem that a previous reviewer had. This came out watery. I would also recommend adding some spices. Overall not a bad starter recipe.
Kyle Lindsey
This recipe was pretty darn good; my husband and I definitely enjoyed it. Just a few things we would change: we used a red onion, which was a mistake; much too sweet for this recipe. Next time it’ll be a plain old yellow onion. Additionally, next time we will either substitute hash browns for the sausage, or simply add the hash browns as an additional layer. Also, I would recommend a bit of salt. A delicious recipe concept; everyone’s tastes are different!
Valerie Williams
Both my 5 year old son and husband loved it. Had it as a left over today and it was great. Made it with tukey sausage.
George Choi
This recipe was delicious! I did cook up the onions in the skillet before putting them in the casserole dish. Would make a great brunch recipe if you had company or were going out. It came out of the oven looking great!! Will use this again. Thanks.
Matthew Nelson
Very good for breakfast or brunch. I have made this twice. One time I brought it for a brunch potluck.
Patrick Lloyd
I have make this once a month for breakfast and have used sausage, bacon and turkey bacon, sprinkled a little cinnamon/sugar on the top for a change. Excellent recipe, it always comes out nice and fluffy.
Heather Diaz
I really enjoyed this recipe. I used ground beef instead of sausages, it was excellent!
Anthony Peterson
My husband says he wants this in the regular rotation. Only thing was it was a bit runny. I used whole wheat bread, since thats all I had, and sprinkled garlic powder, paprika, and fresh ground pepper on top for flavor. Next time I’ll chop the onions and cook them with the sausage, instead of in rings over the sausage.
