just wondering if you really need to cook the sausage as it bakes quite a while in the oven.
if you put the sausage in raw you add alot of grease that gets soaked up by your crescents and it is not easy to crumble raw
I used pre-cooked, turkey crumbles. Saves time and calories. 🙂
Can you freeze the leftovers?
Yes you can freeze them. I make a pan cut in squares, package 4 to a bag for my parents. Microwave for 1 min.
Hi,
What are crescent rolls and do you know if you can buy them in the UK.
Regards.
Here is a link to what she means–not sure if Pillsbury is a brand available in the UK but you must have something similar I would imagine. It is essential a long sheet of very thin dough that is perforated in triangle shapes that you tear apart and roll up from the wide part to the triangle tip in order to make a crescent shape. In this recipe you would use it as one long flat sheet and lightly roll the perforations so they disappear. https://www.pillsbury.com/products/crescents/original
A little late to the party…. But, I believe you guys call it croissant dough. 🙂
This is such an easy and delicious breakfast casserole!
They do sell half size cans of Cresent rolls at save-a-lot! 🙂
Won’t the crescent rolls be burnt specially on the bottom from cooking so long?
No. Actually every time I’ve made it, the crescent rolls almost disappear. I think its bc they soak up all the liquids from the other ingredients! Its delicious!!
This sounds great and know that my grandchildren will love it I am going to try this.
Can I prepare this the night before baking?
Yes.
What can be substituted for the Tabasco sauce?
You can use any kind of hot sauce or use just a little cayenne pepper instead.
Just use a spicier sausage and omit the Tabasco.
Have you tried prepping this casserole in advance and freezing it it for future baking? We are a household of two but love the idea of doing this. Problem is you can’t buy a small can of crescent rolls and the ‘rolls’ are a full 13×9 pan size. I’d like to do this in four small casseroles instead if possible.
I haven’t tried that Christi, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.
