Description
This sausage breakfast casserole is a warm, cheesy, protein-packed breakfast that makes busy mornings so much easier. I love it for a quick breakfast, easy dinner, weekend brunch, and meal prep because it is loaded with savory sausage, fluffy eggs, tender potatoes, and melty cheese in every bite. It is one of my favorite breakfast ideas when I need an easy recipe that feels comforting, filling, and family-friendly.
Ingredients
1 pound breakfast sausage
8 large eggs
1 cup milk
4 cups frozen diced hash brown potatoes
1 cup diced bell pepper
1/2 cup sliced green onions
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles until fully browned. Drain any excess grease.
3. Spread the frozen diced hash brown potatoes evenly in the prepared baking dish.
4. Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the potatoes.
5. Add the diced bell pepper, sliced green onions, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, and 3/4 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top.
6. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.
7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the ingredients in the baking dish.
8. Top with the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
9. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
10. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Do not skip draining the sausage well, or the casserole can turn greasy and too soft in the center.
