Sausage Casserole
Description
The Sausage Casserole begins with cooking breakfast sausage in olive oil and breaking it into bite-sized pieces. Red and green bell peppers, onion, and garlic are added and softened, then combined with hash browns in a baking dish. A mixture of beaten eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese is poured over the sausage and vegetables.
Baked at 375°F until golden brown and cooked through, the casserole has a custard-like texture with pockets of melted cheese and savory sausage, balanced with the sweetness of bell peppers. Chopped parsley sprinkled on top adds a bright herbal note.
It is cut into squares and served warm, making it suitable for breakfast, brunch, or a hearty snack.
