I have shared this recipe before (HERE), but never in its own post.
And it definitely deserves its own post because it is so. SO. GOOD.
This casserole is always on our Christmas morning breakfast table. It is a non-negotiable (even though I know my mom is tired of making it and is always itching to try out something new she’s found on Pinterest).
But I am a stickler for traditions and the rest of the family agrees that it just wouldn’t be Christmas without it!
You won’t even believe how easy it is to make.
Plus, you do everything the night before so that the only thing left to be done in the morning is to pop it in the oven!
You can tell me thanks and how much you love me in the comments section below. 😉

STUPID question—-
Is the sausage some sort of ground sausage or do you buy like bratworst looking sausage and cut it up? I’m a visual learner 😉

Can I refrigerate it for two nights? Will it harm it or go bad?

Is that 2 cups of each cheese, so totaling 4 cups? Or 2 cups total?

2 cups total. It usually comes in a combo bag. 🙂

A 9 by 13 pan of lasagna gives 12 good size (adult) pieces. I would say it serves 12.

We make this every year, It is one of my favorite traditions. The ground sausage is really good, it is also really good with the miniature sausages or cut up sausage links. Any sausage will work, you really can’t go wrong.
