One of our family’s favorite meals on a Sunday is brunch! Typically, we will enjoy a family brunch together after Sunday service. Some of our favorite brunches happen to be casseroles so I wanted to share one of our top brunch recipes with you all.

Made with fresh Jimmy Dean® Regular Premium Pork Sausage, tater tots, eggs, cheese, milk, and did I mention cheese? Haha! If you cannot tell, we are all about the cheese in this house!! There is something so delicious about enjoying the savory, crispy pieces of the pan-browned Jimmy Dean Regular Premium Pork Sausage Roll enveloped in the melty cheddar.

I love using Jimmy Dean Regular Premium Pork Sausage Roll because it is made with a unique savory blend of Jimmy Dean signature seasonings; fresh, high-quality pork sausage. The roll is super convenient because there is no chopping, or processing necessary. Simply open the roll package, add it to your skillet, and brown. I have been loving my cast iron skillet lately, and find it does such a wonderful job at browning the sausage to perfection! Plus, it gives my food an extra iron boost that I need since I am anemic.

Hello, 9 x 13. Sorry for the delay! -Amy
I make breakfasts good for 5 days to bring to work. I put them in 5 containers & refrigerated them ready for the following day. This is now part of my go-to breakfast recipes. What attracted me to this recipe is, it only requires 4 eggs, not 8-12 which most recipes in Pinterest ask for.
I love to follow directions so I made this to a T. I shared it to my coworker & she loved it! It’s simple & delicious. Just want you to know, I jazzed it up when I made it again. I added sautéed portabello mushrooms in place of the sausage and baked for additional 10 minutes because mushroom have generous water content. It came out delicious again! Thank you!
I’m making it tonight!!!
Hi Amy! I hope it came out delicious!
Can I make it overnite?
Yes, you can and bake in the am!
I made it a meat lovers recipe and added crumbled bacon,diced ham and light sprinkle of bread crumbs . Made for a large crowd they loved it!.
