A good breakfast casserole is a must have any time you have a house full of guests, are entertaining, or want to have a make ahead breakfast that you can eat all week. I partnered with my friends at Tony Chachere’s to create this delicious Cajun Cornbread Breakfast Casserole using their Creole Cornbread Stuffing Mix that is the perfect base for the casserole. This breakfast casserole is going to quickly become your new favorite for the holiday season because it’s easy to make and is so delicious too!
This breakfast casserole is made with Tony Chachere’s Creole Cornbread Stuffing Mix, andouille sausage, bell peppers, onions, cheese, milk, and eggs and comes together quickly making it ideal to serve up for Christmas morning and more. I love a breakfast casserole that is filling and full of flavor, and this Cajun cornbread breakfast casserole is just that!
Can I make this casserole in advance?
The night before you can cook the sausage, bell, pepper, and onion and layer it over top of the stuffing mix along with the cheese and then in the morning you can mix together your eggs and milk and then pour it over the meat and veggies before baking.
The other option is baking the casserole in advance and just reheating it as needed.
Can I use another type of sausage?
Yes! You can substitute a breakfast sausage, chorizo, or another smoked sausage.
This casserole is going to be a lifesaver when you are hosting a brunch or breakfast and need to feed a crowd. I like to serve up some fruit on the side and call it a day. It’s truly one of my favorite breakfasts to entertain with and when you make it, you will see why!
