Breakfast Casserole

Ingredients

• ¾ lb breakfast sausage
• 8 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1½ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 4 cups day-old bread, cubed
• ½ cup onion, diced
• ½ cup bell pepper, diced
• ¾ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 1 cooking spray

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart, until browned. Drain excess grease. Add diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Spread the cubed bread evenly in the prepared baking dish. Top with the cooked sausage, onion, bell pepper mixture, and shredded cheddar cheese.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the ingredients in the baking dish, ensuring the bread is soaked.
6. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the casserole is set and lightly golden brown on top.
7. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
