CHEESY SAUSAGE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring and breaking it up into smaller pieces, until it begins to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until the onion is golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds. Remove from the heat to cool slightly. 
• Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, milk, sage and parsley in a large bowl. Add the cubed bread, sausage-vegetable mixture and 1/4 cup of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight. 
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush a medium casserole dish with oil. Pour the chilled bread mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Transfer the casserole to the oven and bake until puffed and golden brown, about 30 minutes. (If the top of the casserole starts to get too brown, cover it with aluminum foil.) Remove to a rack to cool slightly. Serve hot or warm.

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.
