As I was bustling around the kitchen, preparing a delectable spread for our Christmas brunch, I couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia. This savory casserole had become a beloved tradition, a cornerstone of our holiday mornings. Its versatility and ease of preparation made it an ideal choice for our busy family.
The aroma that wafted through the house was intoxicating, a symphony of savory spices and the comforting scent of freshly baked bread. As I carefully layered the ingredients in the baking dish, I couldn't resist taking a moment to appreciate the visual appeal of the dish. The golden rice, the vibrant cheddar cheese, and the crispy rice cereal formed a captivating mosaic that promised a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds.
Step-by-step
- In a skillet, cook sausage and onion over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink; then drain and place in a lightly greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
- Layer with rice, cereal, and cheddar cheese.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs, soup, and milk and spread over the top.
- Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 55-60 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting and refrigerate any leftovers.
