Step-by-Step Instructions

Here’s how to make Cheesy Potato Breakfast Casserole:

Prepare the Potatoes:

  1. Cook the Potatoes: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Cook the Beef Bacon or Halal Sausage:

  1. Cook the Meat: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the beef bacon or halal sausage and cook until browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté the Vegetables:

  1. Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened. Remove from the skillet and set aside with the meat.

Assemble the Casserole:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.
  2. Mix the Eggs and Milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Layer the Ingredients: In the prepared baking dish, layer the cooked potatoes, cooked beef bacon or halal sausage, and sautéed vegetables. Pour the egg mixture over the top, spreading evenly.
  4. Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the top of the casserole.

Bake and Serve:

  1. Bake the Casserole: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  2. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
