This comforting Egg & Meat Casserole is a quintessential American comfort food that brings warmth to any table. The dish features a rich base of fried pork sausage, providing a savory, spiced depth that pairs perfectly with the custard-like texture of the baked eggs.

  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the casserole is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
