Ingredients needed

Bisquick – You can typically find a box of Originial Bisquick mix in the baking aisle of the grocery store.

Sausage – Breakfast sausage is used for this recipe. We are using a pound of original Jimmy Dean sausage but sage, spicy sausage, or even the maple flavored would also be delicious.

Eggs – 4 large eggs.

Milk – You can use 2% or whole milk for this recipe. Whole milk will give it a richer flavor.

Bell Peppers – This ingredient is optional but it adds nice color and flavor. We are using red bell pepper but feel free to use your favorite color.

Onion – White or sweet Vadalia onion.

Hash Browns – Frozen shredded hash browns are needed. They don’t need to be thawed.

Shredded Cheese – I am using a mild cheddar cheese. Sharp cheddar, cheddar blend, or even Colby Jack will work great.

Seasonings – Salt and ground black pepper

How to make Bisquick Breakfast Casserole

Step one: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Start by cooking the breakfast sausage in a large skillet. You will want to crumble it up and cook until browned. Discard the excess grease and then add pepper and onion. Cook another 2-3 minutes to soften.

Step two: Spray a 9 x 13 casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Add cooked sausage mixture, hash browns, and half of the cheese into the prepared baking dish. Stir the ingredients.

Step three: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, Bisquick, salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage mixture. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top starts to turn golden brown.

Step four: Top the casserole with remaining cheese. Bake for another 2-3 minutes or until cheese melts. Make sure to let it sit for about 5 minutes before slicing into pieces.

Casserole tips

• If the casserole starts to get brown and it’s not finished baking, lightly cover the dish with aluminum foil.
