Switch up your sausage types for new flavors. Always shred your own cheese for better melting. This stays good in the fridge for quick leftovers.

Tasty Accompaniments

This goes really well with some fresh veggies on the side. I usually go for some roasted broccoli or green beans to cut through all that richness.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I swap out the sausage?
Absolutely, you can use any pre-cooked smoked sausage like turkey or chicken varieties.
→ Why use block cheese?
Block cheese gives a smoother melt and better taste since pre-shredded cheese has additives that can affect texture.
→ How long does it last?
Store it in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 4-5 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave.
→ What’s the foil for?
It keeps the casserole moist during cooking. Take it off near the end so the cheese melts and browns perfectly.
→ Can I make it early?
Yes, you can assemble it and keep it in the fridge. Add a couple of minutes to the baking time if it’s chilled.
