Christmas Breakfast Casserole
First things first, let’s check out this beautiful dish that’s about to fill your kitchen with all kinds of warm and cozy vibes!
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this scrumptious casserole:
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 bag (30 oz) frozen hash browns, thawed
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 cup diced green bell peppers (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Now that we’ve got everything ready, let’s throw this bad boy together:
- Preheat the oven: Get your oven hot by preheating it to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the sausage: In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and crumbly. Drain the grease and set aside.
- Mix it up: In a large bowl, combine the eggs and milk, whisk together until well mixed. Add in the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir in the thawed hash browns, cooked sausage, green bell peppers (if you’re using them), and shredded cheddar cheese, mixing everything until it’s combined.
- Pour it out: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish and pour the mixture into it, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake it: Pop that casserole in the oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Garnish and serve: Once baked, take it out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for that pop of color, slice it up, and serve warm!
