Breakfast Casserole

Breakfast Casserole, 6 servings

This is great when having company over for brunch. 

1 lb.        Yellow potatoes - Cubed

16           Eggs

1 14 oz   Shredded cheese

1 lb.        Ground sausage

1/2 each Red and green Bell Pepper                       - chopped.

1             Jalapeno pepper - chopped                         (optional)

1/2          Onion - chopped.

1 tbsp.    Garlic olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste, I also used a sprinkle of basil. 

Bake at 425

You can cook the potatoes and brown the sausage the evening before if you'd like. You can make this as mild or spicy as you'd like by using mild, medium of hot sausage. Also, you can use Jalapeno pepper jack cheese. And add Jalapeno's along with the bell peppers. 

Spray or coat the 9x13 or 9x9 pan with oil. Cube the potatoes and thoroughly coat them with oil. Line the bottom of the pan with them. Bake at 475 for 20 minutes. Until they're tender. 

While the potatoes bake, brown the sausage. 

When the potatoes are done spread the sausage over them evenly. Add a layer of shredded cheese. If you've done this night before, cover with foil and put in the fridge. 

In the morning, heat the oven to 425. Whip the eggs, add a little milk (optional). Salt and pepper and pour evenly over the cheese. Bake for 45 minutes and then add another layer of cheese and cook another 15 minutes or until eggs are firm.

Pairs well with mimosas and friends.
