Notes

Tips for making a good Breakfast Casserole:
  1. 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.
  2. Use your favorite breakfast sausage. You can use whichever brand or style of sausage is your favorite. Use pork or turkey too!
  3. Don't over bake the casserole. The casserole can get too dry if you over bake it.
