SAUSAGE AND EGGS BREAKFAST CASSEROLE RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375.
• Add the sausage to a medium saute pan. Cook over medium-heat until browned, crumbling the sausage with a spoon as it cooks.
• Remove sausage with a slotted spoon and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
• Reserve about 1 tablespoon of sausage grease in the saute pan, discarding the rest.
• Add the onion and red pepper to the saute pan and saute for 5 minutes until cooked.
• Add the garlic and saute for an additional 2 minutes or until fragrant.
• Pour the vegetable mixture into the mixing bowl with the sausage. Add the hash browns and 1 1/2 cups cheese to the mixing bowl with the sausage and vegetables. Stir to combine.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and black pepper until combined.
• Then add them to the hash brown mixture and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into a baking dish, and top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
• Then remove the aluminum foil and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes and the top of the potatoes begin to slightly brown. Remove and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with green onions and serve.

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.
