- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

- Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the bottom of the greased baking dish.
- Next, layer the cooked bell peppers and onion on top of the sausage.
- Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and vegetables, ensuring it covers everything evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese over the top of the casserole.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
