This sausage and potato breakfast casserole is so good and is great for a crowd! It’s filled with tender potatoes, cheese, diced peppers, and ground sausage.
This is great for breakfast, but I also like to make it and use the leftovers for lunches that week! Plus, use whatever veggies you have on hand to make it your taste.
Tip: This can be made ahead! Prepare the entire casserole, cover it, and place in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Before baking, remove from the refrigerator and let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground sausage (mild or spicy)
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- salt and pepper
- 2-3 russet potatoes, peeled and diced into cubes (about 2 cups)
- 6 eggs
- 2 cups shredded cheese (whichever kind you like)
- 2 tsp hot sauce
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13x9 casserole dish and set aside.
- In a large skillet, brown the sausage and break up into small pieces as you cook. When it's fully cooked, remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.
- Add the diced bell peppers and onion to the skillet (season with salt and pepper) and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- While the peppers are cooking, add the diced potatoes to a large microwave-safe bowl and add 1/2 cup water. Microwave for 4 minutes until slightly tender. Drain the remaining water from the potatoes.
- Add the diced potatoes to the skillet with the peppers and continue to cook until the potatoes get a bit softer, about 5 minutes.
- Add the potatoes, peppers, and sausage to the prepared casserole dish and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, mix together the eggs, 1 cup of the shredded cheese, hot sauce, milk, garlic powder, and a few sprinkles of salt and pepper. Pour evenly over the potato mixture in the casserole dish and gently stir to combine.
- Top the mixture with the rest of the shredded cheese and bake for 35-40 minutes until the eggs are firm.

Birthdays can add a lot of stress to a tight budget, and throwing birthday parties can really mess things up. There are some great frugal birthday party ideas to help you celebrate and hopefully keep you on budget!
You can make a child’s birthday special without spending a lot of time, energy, or money on it. The key is to tailor the celebration to the actual child and to let go of your own emotions and expectations about birthdays. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has gotten sucked down the Pinterest rabbit hole of kids’ birthday party ideas. If that brings you and your child joy, great. But today I’m going to share some frugal birthday ideas for kids if you’re looking for ways to simplify.
Frugal Kids Birthday Party Ideas
Set A Budget & Save Up
Long before you pick a theme and send an invite, you need to decide how much you are willing to spend on the party. Set that number in stone and for older kids make sure they know the amount too! Take the amount you are budgeting and start saving now (even better is to decide on the amount, divide by 12 and save all year for it). One mom had a great idea to give her son a budget for his party and let him make most of the decisions about how to spend the money.
Skip Paper Invites
Paper birthday invitations are only something to go in your scrapbook, no one else keeps them for other people kids… So skip the expensive invites and stamps and go with free online invites through evite, Punchbowl, Paperless Post, or just call/text the parents. Hand written and hand delivered always work too.
Skip or DIY the Decorations
Let’s be real – decorations are usually more for the parents than for the children. However, trying to make everything look Pinterest-perfect can really add to the stress of party planning. It’s so much easier to grab simple decor at your local store. Use balloons, streamers, or even kids’ toys you already own (Legos, stuffed animals, trucks) as themed décor. We have a friend who just buys some balloons, a tablecloth and paper products to go with the birthday theme. They alternate the themed napkins and plates with solid colored plates to keep from paying more for the themed items.
Ditch The Party Favors
Another thing you can skip completely is party favors. Most kids won’t notice, and parents will likely be glad to go home WITHOUT a bag full of candy. If that makes you feel a tad too frugal, then work party favors into the activity.
