Red Pepper and Ground Sausage Anytime Casserole

I originally made this casseroles for a Christmas morning as it can be made the night before and either baked in the morning, or bake it ahead and refrigerate it until morning. Then reheat. However, this casserole is a great lunch or dinner option. It serves 6 -8. Add a side salad, and/or bread and it will easily fill 10 hungry folks!

  • Pour into the baking dish or deep-dish pie plate. Refrigerate overnight or bake uncovered at 350°F for 35 mins. or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Options

  • Experiment with adding leftover vegetables, substitute cubed ham, bacon, or a combination of meats. Leave out the meat. Varying herbs and spices add complexity to the casserole's flavor.
  • Tightly wrap the unbaked casserole and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw for 24 hours in the refrigerator before baking.
