Ingredients

The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 20 ounces (600 g) potatoes (peeled & cut into 1/2 inch cubes)
  • 1 pound Italian sausage*
  • 1 onion (diced)
  • 1 red pepper (diced)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 cups shredded mild cheese (from a block of mozzarella or mild cheddar)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • sliced green onion

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cook the potato dices in salted boiling water for about 5 minutes. Drain and let cool.
  • Remove casings from sausage, unless you are making your own mix like me. Heat a large skillet to medium-high and cook the sausage until browned. Break it up in the process. Remove from skillet with a slotted spoon. Leave 1 tablespoon of grease.
  • Cook the onion and red pepper in the sausage grease for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook a couple more minutes. Fill into a large baking dish (9x13 inches) together with sausage and potato dices.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and black pepper. Add 1.5 cups of the shredded cheese and stir to combine everything. Pour into the baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and continue baking for 10-15 more minutes.
  • Let the breakfast casserole rest for a few minutes. Add sliced green onion and serve hot.
