How to Make Italian Brunch Casserole
- Remove casings from 1 lb Italian sausage.
- In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped green onions, 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper, 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms, and 1 minced garlic clove to the skillet.
- Sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
- Stir in 1/2 cup chopped roasted red bell peppers.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking dish.
- Spread 4 cups of cubed stale Italian bread evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Top with half of the sausage mixture and 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat layers with remaining bread, sausage mixture, and mozzarella cheese.
- In a bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs and 2 cups of milk.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole.
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Bake, covered, for 1 hour, or until the casserole is bubbly and heated through. If desired, you can uncover the last 15 minutes of baking for a lightly browned top.
