Preparation
Chef’s notes
*Sausage:
Any good-quality ground sausage would work great here! You could use breakfast sausage, Italian sausage, Mexican chorizo, or whatever you have on hand. Pork, beef, chicken or vegan sausage would all be great!
*Cheesy Topping:
If you want the cheese on top of the casserole to be a bit crispier, just uncover the casserole during the final 10 minutes of cooking.
