How to Make Low Fat Breakfast Casserole

  1. Dice one medium onion and one bell pepper (any color).
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
  3. Add 1 cup of cooked sausage (removed from casings) and 1/2 cup of diced cooked ham to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, until the sausage is lightly browned.
  4. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  5. Layer half of the onion, pepper, sausage, and ham mixture in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
  6. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of your favorite baking mix (such as Bisquick) evenly over the meat mixture.
  7. Top with 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese).
  8. Repeat layers: remaining meat mixture, remaining baking mix, and remaining cheese.
  9. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup of milk (or milk alternative), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  10. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered casserole. Gently use a knife to loosen the layers and allow the egg mixture to penetrate.
  11. Cover the casserole and refrigerate overnight (optional).
  12. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  13. Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden brown. Check for doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center – it should come out clean.
  14. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
