Instant Pot Breakfast Casserole

If you are familiar with this blog, you know I am a huge fan of easy breakfast casseroles. The hash brown crust casserole is one of the most popular recipes on the site. 

I am also a big fan of my Instant Pot! There are so many things you can make with this kitchen appliance. Anything from pasta dishes to BBQ chicken. This Instant Pot breakfast casserole has been one of my favorite things to make so far. It is great if you have company visiting or even if you just need an easy week night meal.

How to make Instant Pot Breakfast Casserole

• Start by putting the Instant Pot on Saute Mode. Add breakfast sausage and cook until brown.
• Stir in diced peppers and onions and cook another 3-4 minutes.
• Remove the sausage mixture and wipe out the Instant pot.
• Pour sausage mixture into a 7-inch round pan or springform pan.
• Sprinkle cheese on top of sausage and then pour egg/milk mixture on top.
• Pour 2 cups of water in the Instant Pot. Wrap the pan in foil and place in the instant pot. If using a springform pan, make sure to wrap the foil on the bottom as well, just in case of a small leak.
• Put lid on and set to manual, 25 minutes. Once finished manually release pressure and let the casserole sit for approximately 10 minutes. Serve warm.
