Wake up to a delightful breakfast with this Sunrise Sausage Bisquick Casserole. Easy to prepare and brimming with flavor, it's a hearty dish that brings together savory sausage, fluffy Bisquick, and a colorful mix of veggies.
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.
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.
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.
