Ingredients for Sunrise Sausage Bisquick Casserole

The star of the show here is the ground sausage, bringing a savory and slightly spicy kick. The Bisquick mix provides a quick and easy base, resulting in a light and fluffy texture. Cheddar cheese adds a rich, creamy element that ties everything together. We balance the flavors with bell peppers and onions, adding a fresh crunch and savory sweetness. A bit of garlic powder and black pepper enhance the sausage’s flavor, while a hint of cayenne pepper adds just the right amount of heat. To finish, sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of color and an herbaceous note.

Tips & Tricks

  • If you prefer a milder dish, opt for a mild sausage or reduce the cayenne pepper.
  • For a lighter casserole, use turkey sausage.
  • Prepare the casserole the night before and refrigerate, then bake fresh in the morning.

Serving Suggestions

This casserole pairs beautifully with a fresh fruit salad for a full breakfast spread. Consider serving with a side of crispy hash browns or a dollop of sour cream. A glass of freshly squeezed orange juice or a mimosa can make it feel like a special brunch occasion.

Sunrise Sausage Bisquick Casserole Recipe Walkthrough

First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While that's warming up, grab a skillet and cook your sausage over medium heat until it’s browned and cooked through. Remember to drain off any excess fat—no one wants a greasy casserole.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Bisquick mix, milk, and eggs until the mixture is smooth. Once your base is ready, stir in the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped bell peppers, onions, and green onions. Add the garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper for that extra flavor boost.

Pour this hearty mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Slide it into your preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean from the center.

Once it’s out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes. Before serving, sprinkle with fresh parsley for that final touch.
