Ingredients

Scale
  • Meat:
    • 1 pound breakfast sausage, crumbled
  • Dairy:
    • 6 large eggs
    • 1 cup milk
    • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Vegetables:
    • 1 cup diced bell peppers
    • 1/2 cup chopped onions
  • Seasonings:
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Bread:
    • 4 cups cubed bread (preferably day-old)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled sausage until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  3. Add the diced bell peppers and onions to the skillet, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
  5. In a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, layer the cubed bread, followed by the sausage mixture, and then pour the egg mixture evenly over the top.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.
  8. Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • This casserole can be made ahead of time. Prepare it the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake in the morning, adding an extra 10 minutes to the cooking time.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Substitute turkey sausage for a leaner option or use a dairy-free milk for a lactose-free version.
