How to Make Breakfast Casserole

Making Breakfast Casserole is as simple as 1-2-3. Seriously, if you can crack an egg, you can pull this off! Just gather your ingredients, follow the steps, and in no time, you’ll have a hearty meal that’s sure to please. Here’s the game plan:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (that’s about 175°C for our friends outside the U.S.).
2. Break out that 9×13 inch pan and spray it down with some cooking spray.
3. Combine your ingredients and bake them until all that goodness is set. Easy peasy!

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need for that glorious Breakfast Casserole:

• 2 pounds pork sausage
• 12 eggs
• 1 cup sour cream (light or regular) (240 g)
• 1/4 cup milk (60 ml)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 4 green onions
• 1/2 green bell pepper (diced)
• 1/2 red bell pepper (diced)
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (200 g)

Directions

Follow these steps to whip up your Breakfast Casserole:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13’’ pan with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine eggs, sour cream, milk, cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix just until combined. Don’t overdo it, k?
3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces. Drain most of the grease and toss it into the bowl with your egg mixture.
4. In the same skillet, sauté the bell peppers and onions for 2-3 minutes. Add these to your bowl and stir everything together.
5. Pour the mixture into your greased pan and bake for 35-50 minutes. You want the edges to be set, and the center just a bit jiggly.
6. Enjoy! And if you have leftovers, pop them in the fridge for 3-4 days. Trust me, reheated in the microwave, they’re still delicious. 😊

Tips to Make Breakfast Casserole

• Mix it up! Feel free to swap out the ingredients. Use turkey sausage instead of pork for a lighter dish or try different veggies.
• If you like a bit of a kick, add some diced jalapeños to the mix. Spice it up, my friend! 🌶️
• Make it the night before! Just assemble it, cover it, and pop it in the fridge. Bake it in the morning, and you’ll have a stress-free breakfast.

Variation

Want to switch things up? Try adding some cooked bacon or ham for a meaty twist! You could even go vegetarian and load it with spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini (if that’s your thing). The possibilities are endless—get creative! 🎨

FAQs

1. Can I use egg substitutes instead of real eggs?
Absolutely! You can use egg substitutes or even flax eggs if you want to keep it plant-based. But keep in mind, the texture might change a bit.

2. Can I freeze Breakfast Casserole?
Yes, you can! Just let it cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil. It should last in the freezer for about 2-3 months. Just thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.

3. Can I add more cheese?
Um, yes! You can never have too much cheese, right? Just make sure you increase the amount if you really want that cheesy goodness.
