I needed to make a brunch type casserole for a crowd of 8. I also did not want to have to get up to a mess so threw this recipe together to make ahead. Very simple to put together either that morning or the night before. I have done both ways now and am glad this comes out so good. Heat is up to you for taste. Ingredients:
1 dozen egg |
1 cup milk (i use 1%, any can be used) |
1 green pepper, chopped (any color or combo will do) |
1 onion, diced |
1 tablespoon garlic, minced (i use more but i love garlic) |
1 tablespoon basil |
1 tablespoon oregano |
1 tablespoon pepper |
1 teaspoon salt |
10 breakfast sausage links, chopped into pieces |
2 potatoes, cut into cubes (1-inch) |
4 ounces mozzarella cheese or 4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded |
8 ounces salsa (i use medium, use the heat to your taste) |
8 tablespoons butter (may use less, i like to add more for the flavor, margarine may also be substituted) |
Directions:
1. In large bowl , beat eggs, milk, spices, salt and pepper til frothy. Add in chopped sausage, pepper and onion and fold.
2. Cut potatoes into small cubes, put into greased 9 x 13 pan (grease with some butter).
3. Pour egg mixture over top of potatoes.
4. Dot with 4 -8 Tbsp butter (may use more here accouting for the 8 Tbsp).
5. Pour 1/2 of salsa over top, reserving remainder for topping after cooked.
6. Sprinkle cheese over top.
7. Cover with foil and bake in oven, 350°F for 45 minutes. Check after 45 min every 5 minutes til edges are just browned. Eggs will fluff up.
8. Cool a bit before serving.
9. NOTES**.
10. Oven temperatures vary so check accordingly.
11. If making the night before, do not put salsa or cheese on until before putting in the oven.
