This breakfast casserole is loaded with lots of breakfast ingredients. Instead of having them separately, you make a casserole to enjoy. It is indeed very filling to an extent you might forget to have lunch at your usual time. It has sausages, eggs, bacon, sweet potatoes/potatoes depending on what you prefer and lots of bell peppers.
It can be customized depending on what you have on hand. You can use spices of your preference.
This casserole is freezer friendly hence no worries in making it. All you need is store in slices.
It is perfect if avoiding gluten as well. You can also use minced meat instead of the sausages.
Preparation and cooking
Start by preheating your oven to 200°C and preparing all the vegetables; peel & cube the sweet potatoes or potatoes, deseed & dice the bell peppers and onion and removing the sausage casing.
On one baking tray lined with either a baking paper or aluminum foil, toss the diced sweet potato or potatoes with one tablespoon oil, spices, sea salt, and black pepper then set aside.
On another baking tray, add the slices of bacon making sure none is overlapping the other.
Put the two trays in the preheated oven and cook for 18-20 minutes, or until the bacon is done. The bacon will take about 18-20 minutes to be crispy while the sweet potatoes or potatoes will be done in 33-35 minutes. As you remove the bacon from the oven, stir the sweet potatoes or potatoes.
As the sweet potato or potatoes and bacon are cooking, on a large cooking pot/pan, heat the remaining one tablespoon of cooking oil over medium heat. Sautee the onion till translucent then add in the diced bell papers and allow to cook for two to three minutes.
Once done, add in the sausage meat, stir and allow to cook till it starts browning. Remember to season with sea salt & black pepper.
Once the sausage and bell peppers are well cooked, transfer the contents to a baking dish. Remove the sweet potatoes or potatoes from the oven and add to the casserole dish. Add in the crispy bacon by crumbling it in. Mix everything together.
On a separate bowl, whisk the eggs & milk together then pour it in the casserole dish.
Put the casserole dish back in the oven and let it cook for 25- 30 minutes or until cooked through. You can test using a toothpick or a skewer. It should come out clean.
Slice and serve warm.
