Country Sausage Breakfast Casserole Recipe Recipe For Meatloaf

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.
