Today I’m sharing some hearty, easy & delicious breakfast ideas.  A Cheesy Sausage Breakfast Bake is coming up – along with some bacon love. Oh, and I have a breakfast deal to share with you too 🙂 

“Eat Breakfast Like a King, Lunch Like a Prince, and Dinner Like a Pauper”.

This old quote is tried, true & sound advice.  Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and it deserves better than doughnuts and toaster pastries.  Seriously.  Good mornings lead to great days.

There are staple ingredients for a hearty breakfast.  Eggs, sausage, bacon & cheese.  The breakfast possibilities are endless when you start with these fab four.

One of my family’s favorite breakfasts is a Cheesy Sausage Breakfast Bake.  I’ve been making if for years and still make it often for breakfast – it’s filling, delicious and everyone wants seconds.  Here’s some great news – it can be made ahead of time and reheated in the microwave – the leftovers are just as delicious.  Perfect way to get a homemade breakfast on the table on those crazy and hectic mornings.

Oh, and I must mention how simple this breakfast is to make.  It takes about ten minutes of hands on attention and then everything gets thrown in the oven to bake.  Jimmy Dean Premium Pork Sausage is the star ingredient in this breakfast bake.  It’s seasoned to absolute perfection – your breakfast will always taste great!

Bacon.  I love it, you love it, we all love it.  Seriously – you can not go wrong with bacon at breakfast (or any other time of the day).  Serve it with eggs, on a breakfast sandwich or with pancakes or waffles and breakfast is a total win.

Over the years my bacon making method has evolved.  Many moons ago, when I was cooking just for myself, I would throw a few pieces in my beloved cast iron pan and happily fry it up.  Fast forward to present day – I’ve picked up a husband and had two kiddos along the way.  Frying up separate batches of bacon in my trusty old pan was no longer practical.  I have a nice size griddle – but often it was being used for eggs or pancakes.  Into the oven the bacon went.  Seriously – baking bacon is a foolproof method.  No fussing, no flipping, no splattering – just throw it in the oven and bake.  It doesn’t get much easier.

I’m loving this new Jimmy Dean Hickory Smoked Bacon I found at my local Giant Foods!  I get the perfect amount of delicious bacon taste & crunch in every single bite with the thicker cut slices.  

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day – make it count & make it delicious!  How about starting with this Cheesy Sausage Breakfast Bake?  I hope you love it as much as we do!  I’d love to hear your recipes – what is your favorite way to eat sausage or bacon with breakfast?  Thanks so much for stopping by 🙂
