One thing you have probably gathered from following this blog is that I love casseroles. I love the quickness with which you can put them together and I also like that you can use a plethora of ingredients to pull something together that tastes delicious.
You can make casseroles for breakfast, brunch, dinner, to bring to a potluck or to take to a friend who may need a helping hand. Here at my house it is not uncommon for us to have breakfast for dinner.
This sausage breakfast casserole can be eaten at any time of the day. It can also be changed up to add some of your favorite ingredients. Want to add some tomatoes? Throw them in there. Onions? Mushrooms? Bacon? Yep. Go ahead and add them.
With all the after school activities that kids have these days, everyone is looking for a simple way to make dinner. That is another reason I love casseroles. You can make them up ahead of time easily. Precook whatever needs to be browned or cooked. Put it all together in the casserole pan. Cover the pan, put it in the refrigerator, then bake it when you get home or the next day.
And with Country Crock, the spread is already soft so if you have a recipe that calls for softening your butter but don’t have the time, Country Crock is ready for you. I also appreciate that Country Crock has 0g trans fat per serving, contains no partially hydrogenated oils, no cholesterol, has 70% less fat and 30% fewer calories than butter per serving. With my trying to cook healthier, this is a better alternative for my family.
