Tips and Tricks for Christmas Breakfast Casserole

To make the most of your Christmas Breakfast Casserole, here are a few handy tips and tricks:

  • Storage: Once cooked, store the casserole in an airtight container to keep it fresh. It will last for about 2-3 days in the fridge.
  • Frozen Vegetables: Don’t fret if you don’t have fresh peppers and onions at hand! You can easily substitute them with their frozen counterparts.
  • Add Bacon: For an extra burst of flavor, feel free to add some cooked bacon to the casserole.
  • Cooking Time: If you’re short on time, you can cook the casserole on high for 4-5 hours instead of the usual 8 hours on low. This will give you the same delicious result in almost half the time!
  • Variations: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese or add some diced tomatoes for a tasty twist on the original recipe. You can also try using ham or bacon instead of sausage, or even mix and match your meat choices.
