Easy Breakfast Casserole
Description
This casserole starts by cooking ground sausage with diced red pepper and onion until browned and tender. The cooked meat and vegetables are mixed with frozen shredded hash brown potatoes and cheddar cheese, then spread in a baking dish. A beaten egg and milk mixture is poured over the top to bind the ingredients during baking.
Baking at 350°F for 50 to 60 minutes allows the eggs to fully set without jiggle, creating a firm yet moist breakfast dish. The combination delivers a balance of savory meats, vegetables, and cheese with a tender potato base.
This casserole can be frozen either as a whole or in individual slices, wrapped tightly to prevent freezer burn. To reheat, thaw overnight and bake till warmed through or microwave single servings. Its make-ahead option ensures a filling breakfast ready to eat anytime.
