Sausage and Stuffing Brunch Bake
This Sausage and Stuffing Brunch Bake is anything but your usual breakfast casserole!
Ingredients
- 1 lb hot Italian turkey or chicken sausage, casings removed
- 1 small onion, diced small
- 8 oz mushrooms, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups herb seasoned stuffing mix, I used Pepperidge Farms
- ½ cup fat free reduced sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons light butter, melted
- 5 oz 50% reduced fat sharp cheddar, shredded (I used Cabot brand)
- 2 cups skim milk
- 16 oz carton fat free egg substitute
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly mist a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- Bring a large saute pan or skillet over medium-high heat and add the sausage. Cook for a couple minutes, breaking it up with a spoon or spatula for about 2 minutes, until it begins to start browning. Add the onion, mushrooms and garlic and continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes until the meat is cooked through and broken up and the vegetables are softened. Transfer the cooked sausage mixture to a large mixing bowl and add the stuffing mix (unprepared). Stir to combine.
- Transfer the stuffing and sausage mixture to the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with the chicken broth and melted butter. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top.
- Combine the milk, egg substitute and pepper in a bowl and whisk together until combined. Pour over the top of the stuffing casserole. Bake for about 40 minutes or until set and cooked through. Let casserole cool for 5 minutes and cut into 9 pieces.
