How to Make Southwest Sausage Casserole

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, brown the sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cheese, and seasonings.
Add the cooked sausage, corn, peppers, and onions to the egg mixture and stir to combine.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
