SAUSAGE AND SPINACH BREAKFAST CASSEROLE
This is a variation on a standard breakfast casserole recipe. You can really use any combination of meat, vegetables, and cheese that you have on hand. This one came out really well! You can substitute frozen drained spinach for the sauteed fresh if that's easier.
