Sausage and Roasted Red Peppers Breakfast Casserole



This is the day which the LORD has made;
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Sausage, Roasted Red Peppers and Sourdough Bread Breakfast Casserole


I made this for Sunday School Class this morning, and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Larry and I both thought the texture was just right. I think I generally have a tendency to put too much bread in my breakfast casseroles. The four cups seemed to be a good quantity.

I made mine with some of Aunt Jean's yummy homemade sourdough bread. I know most grocery store bakeries also have sourdough bread, as does Cracker Barrel restaurants. Of course, you could use another bread, such as French bread, with great results, as well.

I have several recipes that I will be posting this week, which you all have waited for very patiently. One is Aunt Jean's sour dough bread recipe. We are celebrating Larry and Aunt Jean's birthdays this week-end. If I don't get the sourdough bread posted today, I'll try to get it posted tomorrow! It really tickled her that some of you requested this recipe!

Here's the breakfast casserole recipe:



Sausage, Roasted Red Peppers and Sour Dough Bread Breakfast Casserole

4 cups sourdough bread cubes
1 pound sausage, browned and drained
1 (12 ounce) jar roasted red pepper strips, cut in half (You could use a large jar of pimento, but the roasting of the peppers really gave this casserole a nice flavor.)
2 cups cheese of your choice (I used cheddar.)
1 cup cottage cheese
8 eggs
1 cup milk (I used fat-free half-and-half.)
salt and pepper, to taste (I used a teaspoon of salt and a couple of dashes of pepper.)

Coat a 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Place bread cubes in prepared dish. Top with sausage, peppers and cheese.

In a food processor, process cottage cheese until smooth. Add eggs; process a few seconds. Add milk, salt and pepper; process a few seconds.

Pour egg mixture over ingredients in baking dish; cover with foil. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.

When ready to cook, remove foil and bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes, or until golden brown and done.

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...
