Easy Ingredient Prep for Convenience

Sausage casseroles are all about hearty components and simple assembly. To make prep a breeze, dice onions, peppers, and sausage quickly using the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper. Even when you’re in a rush, this gadget saves precious minutes and keeps your veggie pieces uniform for even cooking. For cheese, shredding your own block guarantees meltier results.

Step-by-Step Assembly & Baking

Begin by sautéing the sausage, onion, and bell pepper until perfectly caramelized. Use a high-quality, nonstick pan like the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet for flawless browning and easy cleanup. Layer these cooked ingredients in a casserole dish with sweet corn and a luscious mixture of cream, eggs, and spices. Sprinkle liberally with your favorite melty cheese.

To prevent sticking and guarantee hassle-free removal, line your baking dish with a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll. Then simply bake until golden and bubbling.

Creative Ways to Serve and Store Cheesy Corn Sausage Casserole

These airtight containers ensure the cheesy casserole stays fresh and is ready for on-the-go lunches or quick heat-and-eat dinners.

Pair with a crisp green salad or a side of garlic bread for a complete, crowd-pleasing meal.
