Best Ever Easy Sausage Breakfast Casserole Recipes

BREAKFAST SAUSAGE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and spread in the bottom of a greased 9- by 13- by 2- inch casserole dish.
• In a medium skillet, brown the sausage over medium heat until fully cooked and no longer pink. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon to drain the fat. Spread the cooked sausage over the bread and top with the cheese. Then stir together the, half-and-half, dry mustard, salt and eggs. Pour this mixture over the cheese. Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
• The next day, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake the covered casserole until set and slightly golden, about 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to set for 15 minutes before serving.

SAUSAGE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Grease a 9-by-13-inch (or other 3-quart) baking dish with butter or nonstick spray. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and break up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook the meat until no pink pieces remain, 6-8 minutes. Add the red bell pepper and white and light green parts of the scallions and cook 3 more minutes. Transfer to a plate to let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, mustard, hot sauce, salt, black pepper and about one-half of the remaining green parts of the scallions (save the rest to sprinkle on top of the casserole once baked.) Gently fold 1 ½ cups of cheese, the hash-browns and the sausage mixture into the egg mixture. Transfer all to the baking dish and smooth into an even layer.
• Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 50 min. Remove the foil and top with the remaining ½ cup of cheese. Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees and finish baking until the center of the casserole is set (not jiggly) and the top is slightly golden, 10-15 more minutes. Let rest 10 minutes, top with the remaining green parts of the scallions, then serve.
