The Easy Way to Serve a Delicious Breakfast Casserole
What could be easier than serving this easy breakfast casserole? First off you can make it ahead in your crockpot.
The only pre-prep you have to do is to brown the sausage before putting it into the crockpot, chopping up your red pepper, and shredding your cheeses.
To take off some pre-prep time you can get your cheese pre-shredded.
You will enjoy the fact that it is all put into one pot and you can forget about it for 4-6 hours.
This could also be perfect for brunch after church too. Or if you are a family that does ‘breakfast for dinner’ that will be something to look forward to also.
