Country Breakfast Pie

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Tyson Foods, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #JDgreatdays  http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

I love breakfast food. Honestly, it's probably my favorite meal of the day. I believe that great mornings lead to great days and what better way to start a great morning than with a yummy breakfast that the whole family can enjoy together! This Country Breakfast Pie is a winner with our family!

See for yourself how good mornings lead to great days when you start them off with Jimmy Dean. Right now at Martin's Food Markets, when you buy 3 participating Jimmy Dean products you get $5 off through 8/11. While supplies last. I love a good deal, especially on things I'm already buying!

You can make this breakfast pie the night before and put it in the fridge. In the morning, take it out to warm up to room temperature while the oven is preheating to the 350 F. Pop it in the oven for the 30 minutes and you've got a delicious breakfast ready without any work in the morning!

Jimmy Dean Premium Pork Sausage is made with a signature blend of seasonings, adding flavor excitement to meals with just about no effort on my part. Pop it into a pan and stir while cooking.

And the bacon…. ohhhh…. the bacon. If you want, you could use a whole pound in the breakfast pie, but I couldn't resist eating a few slices when it was done in the oven. I bake my bacon, but you can of course cook it however you like. I grabbed Jimmy Dean Applewood Smoked Premium Bacon at my local Martin's Food Market. I love this bacon because it's a thicker cut bacon that delivers amazing taste!

This easy breakfast idea looks fancy, but is so simple to put together. It's perfect for a family brunch or just something to pop in the oven before the kids head off to school.
