I used to make this on special occasions. You know, like weekends. My girls loved it. My youngest daughter just asked me for the recipe so she could fix it for her family. She also told me that I should write a cookbook. I love her way of thinking, so why not share? I hope you all enjoy it.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

A quick and easy breakfast casserole everyone will enjoy that's full of flavor and textures. The bottom is a layer of cornbread. Then, it has a layer of bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, and sausage. They add some texture to this breakfast dish. We used plain breakfast sausage, but sage or spicy sausage could be used for more flavor. A great weekend breakfast casserole or for a special occasion.
