Instructions
- Fire up your oven to 375°F (190°C) and coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Notes
- Always drain the meat thoroughly to prevent a soggy casserole bottom and ensure crisp texture.
- Soften cream cheese before mixing into eggs for smoother, more even distribution throughout the dish.
- Swap breakfast sausage with vegetarian sausage crumbles or diced mushrooms for a meatless version that keeps the hearty flavor.
- Prepare this casserole the night before and refrigerate, then bake in the morning for an easy make-ahead breakfast that saves precious morning time.
