A delightful and easy casserole to prepare the night before, perfect for holiday gatherings with rich flavors from sausage, eggs, and cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage, crumbled
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (red, green, or a mixture)
  • 1 cup diced onions
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 cups shredded potatoes (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar and/or mozzarella)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 8 slices of bread, cubed (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (such as parsley or chives; optional)

Instructions

  1. Brown the sausage. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
  2. Sauté the vegetables. In the same skillet, add diced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Whisk the egg mixture. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, dried mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until well combined.
  4. Layer the ingredients. In the bottom of the crockpot, layer half of the cubed bread, followed by half of the shredded potatoes, half of the cooked sausage, and half of the sautéed vegetables.
  5. Add cheese. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the layered ingredients in the crockpot.
  6. Repeat the layering process with the remaining bread, potatoes, sausage, vegetables, and cheese.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers in the crockpot, ensuring that it penetrates through the entire casserole.
  8. Cook. Cover the crockpot with the lid and set it to cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. Once done, check to ensure the casserole is set in the center and the edges are slightly golden.
  9. Scoop & garnish. Carefully scoop out portions and garnish with fresh herbs if desired before serving.

Notes

This casserole is ideal for holiday gatherings and can be served with fresh fruit, pancakes, or muffins.
