This recipe is easy and delicious!! I followed the recipe except: I didn’t use the Tobasco sauce. But I did add in diced onion to the browned sausage and fresh diced mushrooms and mixed it up before putting on top of the crescent. I will probably add at least an extra egg or 2 next time, but other than that its fantastic!
FAMILY FAVORITE!! Thank you so much!
Love love love this recipe!! So easy to make and everyone has loved it! Have made it for multiple parties and there are never any leftovers!
Really delicious recipe! It’s easy to modify, adding additional ingredients to the sausage or instead of sausage. I added sautéed onions and cooked broccoli which worked great! My kids aren’t huge fans of egg but this has a good ratio of egg to other ingredients, plus the egg is fluffy so it was a hit with the kids. Will definitely make again.
Trying for dinner. Have had many variations of same
Think I’ll try using hot sausage.
Made this for dinner last night. Excellent. I did add a little more hot sauce and scallions to the eggs. We both loved it and had enough left for a nice breakfast this morning.
I have made this dish several times. It is so simple and easy. Everyone likes it. I like to cook the rolls in the bottom of the pan a for 5 min or so before adding the rest of the ingredients. I find it holds up a little bit better.
Looks great. Can’t wait to try it. Could you use puff pastry instead of crescent rolls?
What can you use instead of milk?
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.
