Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s warming up, I grab my skillet and cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it up as it browns. I like to sauté it until it’s cooked through and I can smell the delicious, savory scent filling my kitchen. Once that’s done, I drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.
