Ingredients for Casserole

  • Crescent rolls: You will need one can of crescent rolls. They are so easy to work with and always turn out perfectly. Use any brand of crescent rolls that you like.
  • Sausage: I used mild pork sausage for this recipe, but you could use hot sausage if you prefer. Be sure to cook the sausage before adding it to the casserole.
  • Eggs: I like to use large eggs, but you can use whatever size you have on hand.
  • Milk: I used whole milk for this recipe, but you could use 2% milk if you prefer.
  • Cheese: I used sharp cheddar cheese, but you could use any type of cheese that you like. You may use shredded or sliced cheese.
  • Salt and pepper: I like to salt and pepper my eggs before cooking.

How to Make This Casserole with Crescent Rolls and Sausage

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain fat and set sausage aside.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper.
  5. Unroll crescent rolls and place them in the prepared baking dish. Press the seams together so that they form one big sheet of dough.
  6. Spread the cooked sausage over the dough and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
  7. Pour the egg mixture over the top and bake for 30-35 minutes and the eggs are firm.
  8. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

Let the crescent rolls thaw in the refrigerator overnight before assembling this casserole.

This will make it easier to work with the dough and will help prevent it from tearing.

If you are short on time, you can use pre-cooked sausage.

Just be sure to drain the fat before adding it to the casserole.

I love making meals with crescent rolls because they are easy to make and budget friendly recipes.
