This is a crowd pleasing and filling breakfast that feeds your guests to great satisfaction. I make this around the holidays because it’s easy to cook the sausage in advance and just toss together the rest of the ingredients while the oven is pre-heating. That morning everyone will enjoy sipping coffee or juice while the oven gives off delightful flavors as it cooks your nearly one dish meal.
