Breakfast Casserole
Description
Breakfast Casserole begins with browning pork sausage until cooked through and broken into small pieces. Eggs, sour cream, milk, cheese, salt, and pepper are combined to form a creamy base that binds the ingredients. Sauteed diced green and red bell peppers along with sliced green onions add freshness and mild sweetness.
The mixture is poured into a greased 9x13-inch pan and baked until the edges are firm and the center remains slightly jiggly, indicating a tender, custard-like texture without overcooking. The casserole melds the richness of sausage and eggs with the flavor and texture contrasts from vegetables and melted cheddar cheese.
This dish works well as a hearty breakfast or brunch option and can be prepared ahead. Leftovers store in the refrigerator and reheat nicely in the microwave, making it convenient for multiple servings over a few days.
