Make Ahead Christmas Breakfast Casserole

As Christmas approaches, I plan to share all kinds of Kitchen Witch recipes that have my trademark ease of preparation and lightened up approach because I'm determined this holiday season not to put on any weight!

Especially since I've added videos to my repertoire - people, every transgression shows - whether that be a late night or an extra profiterole!

With that said, I have a fabulous recipe to share today for an easy to assemble breakfast casserole that can be made the night before and baked off in the morning. It features turkey sausage, mushrooms, biscuits, and a to die for creamy pan gravy.
