For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the sausage with diced onions and bell peppers. Feel free to substitute different types of cheese, such as Gruyere, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack, to customize the flavor to your liking. Add some chopped vegetables, such as cooked broccoli, spinach, or mushrooms, to make it a more complete and nutritious meal. If you're short on time, you can skip the overnight refrigeration, but the flavors will not be as developed. To prevent the top from browning too quickly, you can tent the casserole with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
