   • Begin by cutting the smokies into small pieces.
   • Next, fry the bulk sausage in a pan, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Once done, drain any excess fat.

2. Beat Eggs:

   • In a large mixing bowl, crack open the eggs. Beat them until well combined.

3. Combine Ingredients:

   • To the beaten eggs, add the dry mustard, salt, milk, cooked sausage, and chopped smokies. Stir until everything is evenly incorporated.

4. Assemble Casserole:

   • Transfer the mixture into a 9×13 inch casserole dish, ensuring it is spread out evenly.

5. Chill Overnight:

   • Cover the casserole dish with foil and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.

6. Bake:

   • The next day, preheat your oven to the desired temperature.
   • Bake the casserole covered with foil for 55 minutes. This helps the casserole cook through evenly.

7. Final Touch:

   • After 55 minutes, remove the foil cover and continue baking for an additional 5-10 minutes. This allows the top to brown slightly and adds a delicious crust to the casserole.

8. Rest and Serve:

   • Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the eggs to set and makes it easier to serve.
   • Slice into portions and serve hot, garnished with your favorite herbs or accompanied by fresh bread or a side salad.

Tips:

• For added flavor, consider incorporating diced vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or spinach into the casserole mixture.
• To make this dish ahead of time, assemble the casserole and freeze it before baking. When ready to serve, simply thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bake as directed.
• Customize the cheese according to your preference. Cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack would all work well in this recipe.
• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer-term storage. Simply reheat in the microwave or toaster oven for a quick and satisfying breakfast on busy mornings.

With its hearty ingredients and satisfying flavors, Ann’s Egg-Sausage Casserole is sure to become a favorite in your breakfast rotation. Enjoy the convenience of a make-ahead meal without compromising on taste!
