Cornbread Breakfast Casserole
Jump to recipe
I wanted to make a sweet breakfast casserole for a change, and I remembered how I liked the flavor of breakfast sausage together with maple syrup. The bacon and sausage makes it a complete meal. The cornbread makes it easy to bake and the apples add another level of sweetness.
I put this together based on recipes from Taste of Home and Jimmy Dean.
