Looking for a good "make ahead" Sunday morning breakfast or brunch? How about my Breakfast Bake?

MDG's Breakfast Bake (serves 8)
3/4 lb. bulk breakfast sausage
1/2 onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
1-1/2 C frozen hash browns (I like the Alexia yukon gold ones)
3/4 C grated cheddar or swiss cheese
1/2 C flour
3/4 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 C milk
2 eggs
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a square baking dish and set aside.
In a saute pan over medium heat, cook the sausage, onion and pepper, breaking up the meat, until the meat is cooked (7 to 8 mins.)
Transfer the meat mixture (including the fat) to the casserole dish and stir in the frozen hash browns and cheese.
In medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk in the milk and eggs until well combined. Pour over the sausage mixture, ensuring even coverage.
Bake uncovered until light brown on top and around the edges, about 35 to 40 mins. (If you want your casserole extra cheesy, you can sprinkle another 1/2 C of shredded cheese on top and bake for another 2 minutes.)
Enjoy!
(Weight Watchers note: If you use 1% milk and don't add the extra cheese, this comes to 7 WW points per serving)
