Easy Primal Breakfast Caserole

I love breakfast and all foods associated with it.  I also love breakfast food anytime of day and am constantly on the lookout for recipes that are great make-ahead options to incorporate my favorite flavors at any meal.  This crockpot casserole is so incredibly easy and it reheats great.  And just think, how amazing would it be to wake up tomorrow with the smell of maple sausage permitting your home and breakfast ready and waiting for you?  Pretty awesome.  Pretty awesome.
