This is one of my hubby’s recipes, often requested for special occasions. The base is a buttery crescent roll that makes a delicious crust.

Holidays are the perfect time to bring out your best recipes! This delicious breakfast casserole will serve nicely for either breakfast or brunch soirees during the holiday season, especially Christmas morning. 

This Crescent Roll & Sausage Breakfast Casserole also makes a good egg bake dish to take along for Sunday School or Fellowship potluck dinners.

It’s a time saver for preparation since you begin the day before and let it marinate overnight before baking the next day.

Refrigerate any leftovers within 2 hours. Reheat in the microwave on low for 30 seconds at a time until heated through. 

Use an oblong glass baking dish for your Crescent Roll & Sausage Breakfast Casserole. I have several of the same size for holiday cooking and casserole season.

The beauty of a nice glass baking dish is that you can serve from the baking dish, so less cleanup is involved!
