Tips for making a good Breakfast Casserole:

Don’t overcook the veggies. The peppers and onions will cook more in the oven, so don’t let them get too soft when cooking in the skillet.
Use your favorite breakfast sausage. You can use whichever brand or style of sausage is your favorite. Use pork or turkey too!
Don’t over bake the casserole. The casserole can get too dry if you over bake it.

How do you freeze:

Freeze in servings: You get a wonderful breakfast but don’t have to wake up earlier to make it. I also love making them into single-serving breakfast squares that I can eat all week long.

After cooking allows your casserole to cool. Cut it into squares and place them on a baking sheet. Place in the freezer into each square is frozen.

You can now place all the squares into a large freezer bag and they will not stick together. Pull out one at a time for breakfast and warm in a toaster oven or microwave!

Freeze in whole: To freeze the entire casserole cook according to directions (in a freezer-friendly dish, I like to use foil dishes when freezing) then allow to cool.

Cover with foil and place in the freezer. Place in the fridge 24 hours before you are ready to bake and place in the oven at 375 for 60-90 minutes to until warmed through.
