This sausage casserole with cream cheese, oh my, it’s good! Simple food, easy to make. You just need some stuff from the store, nothin’ fancy. I like to make this sausage casserole cream cheese when my grandkids come over. They always gobble it up!
First, you gotta brown that sausage. Just cook it up in a pan, you know? Make sure it ain’t pink no more. Crumble it up good. I use my hands, but you can use a spoon if you want. It smells so good when you are cooking it!
Then, you take that cream cheese. The soft kind, not the hard block. The soft cream cheese is what makes this sausage casserole so darn delicious. Mix it in with the sausage. Get it all nice and mixed up. You want that cream cheese all over that sausage!
Here is what you need. I always write it down so I don’t forget:
- Sausage, the kind you like to eat. I like the spicy kind.
- Cream cheese, the soft kind, maybe a couple of those little tubs they sell.
- Some of them crescent rolls, the ones in the can that pop! Those are fun.
- Maybe some onions, if you like ’em. I do!
- Cheese, the kind you sprinkle on top.
Now, you gotta get one of them baking dishes. The kind your mama used to use, I bet you know it! Spray it with that cooking spray so nothin’ sticks. That’s important! Or use butter, if you have some on hand. You don’t want your sausage casserole to stick to the pan!
Put the sausage and cream cheese mix in the bottom of the dish. Make sure it is spread all the way out. This sausage cream cheese casserole needs a good base.
Now for them crescent rolls. Open that can—careful, it might scare ya!—and lay them rolls on top of the sausage and cream cheese. Just lay ’em out flat, like you’re tucking in a baby. This is the best part, in my opinion.
If you want, you can chop up some onions and put ’em in there, too. I like onions in just about everything. Makes it taste better. I put onions in this sausage casserole and my grandkids still eat it up!
Sprinkle some cheese on top. The yellow kind, you know? The kind that melts good. You can use the shredded cheese from the bag. It doesn’t have to be perfect. That’s what makes this sausage cream cheese casserole so easy! This part makes it look real pretty when it comes out of the oven.
Now, stick it in the oven. I usually bake it at 350 degrees. Keep an eye on it, though. You don’t want it to burn. It takes about 30 minutes, maybe a little more, maybe a little less. Just wait until it’s all bubbly and brown on top. You will smell it when it is almost ready. Oh, it smells so good!
When it’s done, take it out and let it cool a bit. Don’t burn your tongue! It is hard to wait, but you gotta let that sausage casserole rest a bit.
Then, just scoop it out and eat it up! It’s good with some eggs, or some toast, or just by itself. This sausage casserole cream cheese is good any time of the day. I like to eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Sometimes I will even have a little bit for a snack.
This sausage cream cheese casserole is a real crowd-pleaser. Everybody always loves it. It’s easy to make a big batch, too. Just double everything up. Then you can have leftovers for later! Leftover sausage casserole is almost better than the fresh stuff.
You can add other stuff to it, too. Sometimes I put in some peppers, or some mushrooms. Just whatever you got in the fridge, really. Don’t be afraid to try new things! That is what I always say. You never know what you might like in your sausage casserole.
