When feeding a crowd, a breakfast casserole is hard to beat. No standing at the stove flipping pancakes while everyone else eats or coordinating a complicated spread, just a whole lot of yummy food in one big dish. I have quite a few breakfast casseroles in my recipe collection alredy, but when I saw this Yeehaw Breakfast Bake I knew I had to give it a try! With juicy breakfast sausage and sweet cornbread, this is not your typical egg bake!
You will need pre baked cornbread for this recipe so you’ll want to either bake a batch up ahead of time or grab some from the baked goods section at the store. The cornbread is sliced into cubes and then tossed with browned breakfast sausage, cheese, and some colorful bell pepper. A mixture of eggs, milk, salsa verde, and seasoning is then mixed in to hold it all together.
Your casserole will bake for about 40-45 minutes or until the top is starting to turn crisp and golden brown. Load each slice up with your favorite toppings like sour cream and sauce or enjoy it as it. Trust me, it’s already packed with flavor. Mix up your breakfast game and give this casserole a go!
