Notes
Make ahead: This dish can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Simply cover and refrigerate before baking. This also makes a great dish to bake and serve throughout the week. Once baked, store leftovers for up to 4 days. Variations:
Meat: You could substitute sausage with ground turkey, Italian sausage, diced ham, or bacon.
Vegetables: Feel free to add in any vegetables you'd like. Some of my favorites are mushrooms, spinach, chopped asparagus, or broccoli.
