Description

A hearty and savory breakfast casserole that combines sausage, creamy cheeses, and eggs over a flaky crescent roll crust.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (1 ounce) package dry ranch dressing mix
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
  • 6 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (12 ounce) package refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • Optional: Chopped green onions for garnish


Instructions

  1. Cook breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and dry ranch dressing mix with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add condensed cream of mushroom soup and sour cream to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until well combined and smooth.
  4. Gently fold the cooked and crumbled sausage into the cream cheese mixture until evenly distributed.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
  6. Add garlic powder and black pepper to the egg mixture. Whisk again to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
  7. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the baking dish, forming a crust. Pinch the seams together to seal them.
  8. Pour the sausage and cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll crust. Spread it out so that it covers the entire surface.
  9. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the sausage layer, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
  10. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture.
  11. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and the eggs are set.
  12. Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
  13. If desired, garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

This casserole can be prepared the night before, stored in the refrigerator, and baked in the morning for a quick breakfast.
