During the week, we eat always have something quick for breakfast….cereal, frozen waffles, fruit, etc. On the weekends, I’m wanting something  special and savory!

This Easy Sausage Breakfast Casserole is my ‘go to’ recipe for something special, but easy! I put it together the night before, then just pop it in the oven first thing in the morning!

  • butter
  • 2 cups half & half
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper

  1. Remove crusts from bread and butter on each side.
  2. Place bread in 9×13 inch glass baking dish.

  1. OK my husband loves grits. I bought some non instant grits From a farmers market and their is no recipe on how to cook them? Can you tell me how???? Definitely trying this recipe soon!! Thanks!!!

    1. Here’s what I found:
      In a 3- to 4-quart saucepan, bring 4 1/2 cups of water seasoned with 1 teaspoon of salt to a boil.
      Slowly stir in 1 cup of regular grits (not instant).
      Continue stirring and reduce heat to low.
      Cook for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
      Beat in 4 to 6 tablespoons of butter. Serve immediately.
