Why You'll Love This Venison Sausage and Egg Casserole

The venison sausage adds a unique wild game twist, allowing you to use that venison in your freezer and not have to spend money buying pork sausage at the store. Plus, the prep work is quick, and the overnight chilling in the refrigerator means you’ll spend less time in the kitchen on the big day. Serve this with some fresh fruit or warm cinnamon rolls for a complete brunch menu that everyone will rave about.

Only Six Ingredients For This Egg Casserole

• 2 pounds venison breakfast sausage
• 8 eggs, beaten
• 2 ½ cups milk
• 1 can of cream of mushroom soup
• 10 white bread slices, cubed
• 8 ounces Cheddar cheese, grated

How To Make Sausage And Egg Casserole

1. Lightly coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it into bite-size pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook until brown and slightly crispy on some pieces, about 8 minutes. Drain off most of the grease and set aside.
3. Combine eggs, milk, and soup in a large bowl. Whisk until well combined.
4. Spread the bread cubes evenly into the bottom of the greased baking dish. Then sprinkle the sausage and cheese evenly over the bread.
5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the ingredients in the pan. Cover and chill overnight.
6. Prior to baking, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake for 30 minutes, covered with aluminum foil. Then bake uncovered for about another 30 minutes.
7. Remove from oven when done and serve warm.

Overnight Breakfast Casserole

You can make this venison sausage and egg casserole a day ahead of time or freeze it to bake another day - like Christmas morning!

To make the day before, prepare everything as directed, up until baking. Cover the casserole and store it (unbaked) in the refrigerator overnight for up to 24 hours. Bake according to the recipe instructions listed below.

To freeze the sausage and egg casserole, prepare the recipe in your 9- x 13-inch baking dish. Cover well with the lid it comes with or plastic wrap and then aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Before baking, allow it to thaw overnight in the refrigerator, and then let it come to room temperature before baking.
