Description
A hearty and delicious casserole featuring sausage, bacon, and eggs, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces breakfast sausage, crumbled
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 4 cups cubed bread (preferably day-old)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (optional)
- 1/2 cup diced onion (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled sausage and chopped bacon until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
- Add the cubed bread to the egg mixture, stirring gently to coat. Then fold in the cooked sausage, bacon, cheese, and optional bell pepper and onion.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
- Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture.
- Substitute the cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese, such as pepper jack or mozzarella, for a different flavor profile.
