What is in this easy Christmas breakfast casserole?
Now that you know you want to make this casserole, you may be wondering what ingredients you need to make it. These simple ingredients are everyday products that you may already have on hand.
- Eggs – This casserole calls for the usage of eggs! I prefer Aldi’s brand of large eggs for any cooking I do.
- Milk – Another simple ingredient that will help bring this breakfast casserole to life, is milk. I use 2% but you can use whole or skim milk.
- Sausage – My favorite casseroles for breakfast involve using pork sausage. I personally use mild sausage but you can add hot sausage for a spicier flare on this Christmas morning breakfast.
- Red and green bell pepper – Get ready to taste deliciousness thanks to the red and green bell pepper addition.
- Shredded cheddar cheese – Trust me, you’ll want to add the sharp cheddar cheese to this casserole. I use 2% shredded cheese from Aldi or Walmart.
Don’t forget to add salt and pepper to taste. Everyone likes different amounts of salt and pepper, so add what you feel most comfortable with!
