How to Make Sunrise Breakfast Casserole Prepared Night Before

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place 1 lb Johnsonville sausage (or your favorite brand) in a 15x10x1 inch baking pan.
  3. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until sausage is no longer pink. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  4. Drain excess grease from the sausage. Once cooled, slice into 1/4-inch coins.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Add 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns (thawed), the cooked sausage coins, 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese), 1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper, and 1/4 cup chopped green onions.
  7. Gently mix all ingredients until well combined.
  8. Grease a 13x9x2 inch baking dish. Pour the casserole mixture into the prepared dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  9. Remove casserole from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.
  10. Bake uncovered at 350°F (175°C) for 65-70 minutes, or until set and golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  11. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with salsa or picante sauce, if desired.
