Breakfast Casserole


This a tasty breakfast casserole that is simple to make with whatever you may already have in your refrigerator and pantry...

Most people have a box a bisquick in the pantry so this was a recipe I found on their website that I modified to make vegetarian and with smaller portions... 

Recipe:
2 Morningstar Farms Veggie sausage links (chopped or you can their spicy Italian meatless crumbles if you want more of a kick)
1/4 bell pepper (any color and chopped)
2 eggs
1/2 cup of bisquick
1 cup of milk
1/4 onion (chopped)
1 medium potato (grated or you can use a cup of frozen hashbrowns)
1/4 cup of cheese (I had mozzarella but the recipe originally called for cheddar)
1 tbsp oil (your choice)

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Meanwhile in a pan, cook the sausages, onion, bell pepper and potatoes (if using fresh) with oil until the vegetables are tender. 

Transfer into a 1 quart greased baking pan. If you are using frozen hashbrowns, combine the hashbrowns in the baking pan with the cooked veggies and sausage at this point. Top with most of the cheese... leave a little to top the casserole when finished baking.

Meanwhile, combine the eggs, milk and bisquick in a bowl. when combined, pour the liquid over the vegetables.

Bake the casserole for 40 - 45 minutes. When the casserole is finished baking, top with the remaining cheese and cook in the oven for an additional 5 minutes.

Let cool for about 5 minutes before cutting and serving. This casserole makes about 6 servings. It tastes great by itself or with some hot sauces.. YUM!! And each serving is low fat... about 140 calories per serving! I had mine with some grapes and of course; Hot Sauce!


I hope this is a simple recipe, you can use whatever vegetables or breakfast 'meats" you may have. Feel free to comment and let me know what you think of this or what additions you would add to this recipe. Enjoy!
