Notes
- Make sure to only use ground breakfast sausage or patties, no sausage links.
- You can use regular or hot breakfast sausage for this casserole!
- If you prefer, you can use crescent sheets instead of crescent rolls.
- I love using freshly shredded cheese for this breakfast casserole. You can use Colby jack, mozzarella, cheddar, or a Mexican blend cheese!
