Pro Tips
• For a golden, bubbly top, carefully transfer the cooked casserole to an oven-safe dish and broil on high for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
• Feel free to swap the cheddar for other great melting cheeses like Monterey Jack, Gruyère, or a spicy pepper jack for an extra kick.
• This casserole is perfect for meal prep. Store cooled, sliced portions in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave.
• Ensure your sausage is pre-cooked before adding it to the pot. This step is crucial for both food safety and developing a deeper, savory flavor in the final dish.
