Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Cauliflower Rice Breakfast Casserole.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, take a moment to lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with either cooking spray or a bit of butter—this will help everything come out beautifully later.
Step 3
Next, grab a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add in your hot pork sausage, stirring frequently as it cooks.
Step 5
In about 5 to 7 minutes, you’ll notice it turning a lovely golden brown and becoming crumbly.
Step 6
Once it’s cooked to perfection, transfer the sausage into your prepared casserole dish, leaving any delicious grease behind in the skillet.
Step 7
Now, let’s keep the flavor train rolling! In that same skillet, toss in the frozen riced cauliflower.
Step 8
Cook it over medium heat, stirring actively for about 3 to 4 minutes, until most of the moisture has evaporated.
Step 9
This step is key to ensuring your casserole doesn’t get soggy.
Step 10
Once the cauliflower is ready, add it to the casserole dish along with some diced red bell pepper and sweet onion.
Step 11
Gently mix everything together, letting those vibrant colors and flavors mingle.
Step 12
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1/4 cup of the shredded Cheddar cheese, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper.
Step 13
This creamy mixture is going to bring everything together beautifully.
Step 14
Pour it over the ingredients in the casserole dish, but resist the urge to mix it in just yet—this will create a lovely layered effect as it bakes.
Step 15
Now it’s time for the magic to happen! Place your casserole in the preheated oven and let it bake for about 30 minutes.
Step 16
You’ll know it’s ready when a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 17
For the grand finale, sprinkle the remaining Cheddar cheese on top and pop it back in the oven for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until that cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 18
The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible! Once it’s done, let it cool for a few moments before serving.
Step 19
Enjoy this hearty dish that’s sure to please everyone at the table!.
