Jo Cooks Sausage Potato Breakfast Casserole Recipes

OVERNIGHT BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven: To 300 F degrees.
• Prepare bread: Cut the bread into cubes and place them onto a baking sheet. Place the bread into the oven and bake for 10 minutes, just enough to dry the bread out but not toast it. Remove from the oven and set aside.
• Prepare sausage: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sausage and cook until onion has softened and sausage is cooked through. Use a wooden spoon to break up the sausage as it cooks. Finally, season with salt and pepper and dry mustard.
• Build casserole: Add half the bread cubes to a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish and top with half of the cooked onions and sausage. Next, add half the chopped bell pepper, chopped green onions, and 1 cup of shredded cheese. Repeat layers with remaining bread, onion, sausage, bell peppers, green onions, and cheese.
• Prepare the eggs: In a bowl whisk together the eggs and milk and pour over the casserole evenly. Finally, cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and put in the fridge overnight.
• Bake and serve: The next morning, preheat the oven to 350 °F and remove the foil from the casserole dish. Place into the oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes. You'll know the casserole is done if you insert a knife in the centre and if it comes clean, it's done. Serve hot!

CHEESY SAUSAGE AND POTATO BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Prick potatoes several times with a fork and place onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are soft, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove potatoes from oven and let cool until safe to handle, at least 15 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a casserole dish or 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer sausage to a bowl. Saute onion in the same skillet until translucent, about 5 minutes. Transfer onion to the bowl with the cooked sausage.
• Mix eggs, half the Cheddar cheese, milk, salt, and pepper into the bowl with the sausage mixture.
• Grate potatoes and add to the bowl of sausage mixture. Pour mixture into the prepared dish; place remaining Cheddar cheese on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly, about 35 minutes.

SAUSAGE POTATO BREAKFAST CASSEROLE.

Steps:

• Cook and crumble sausage in large skillet until no pink remains; drain fat.
• Transfer sausage to a greased 9X13 inch baking pan, add shredded potatoes and cheese on top.
• In a large bowl whisk remaining ingredients; pour over top; cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove from refrigerator at least 30 minutes prior to baking.
• Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for about 45-50 minutes, or until a knife is inserted in the middle and comes out clean.
• Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

JO COOKS' SAUSAGE POTATO BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until it's no longer pink, crumbling with a spoon. Transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside.
• In the same skillet, add the onion and mushrooms and cook until onion is soft and mushrooms have cooked down.
• Add bell peppers and stir. Cook until bell peppers soften a bit.
• In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
• Add the sausage to the vegetables, add the potatoes, 1 1/2 cups of the mozzarella cheese, the egg mixture, and about 3/4 cup of the chopped green onions and stir everything together until well combined.
• Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish and sprinkle remaining mozzarella over top. Bake for 30 minutes or until slightly browned (mine was bigger so I baked a little longer).
• Sprinkle with remaining green onions and serve.
