Ingredients

• 16 ounces frozen hash browns
• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 12 large eggs
• 1.5 cups milk
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 stalks green onions
• 1 medium bell peppers (any color)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 bottle non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Spray the inside of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Brown the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Once fully cooked, drain any excess fat and set aside.

Step 3

Chop the green onions and dice the bell pepper into small pieces. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.

Step 5

Layer half of the frozen hash browns evenly across the bottom of the crock pot.

Step 6

Top the hash browns with half of the cooked sausage, half of the diced bell pepper, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Repeat the layers with the remaining hash browns, cooked sausage, bell peppers, and shredded cheese.

Step 8

Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the layers in the crock pot, making sure the liquid saturates everything evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the chopped green onions on top as a garnish.

Step 10

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the eggs are fully set and cooked through.

Step 11

Once done, turn off the crock pot and allow the casserole to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite breakfast sides or toppings like salsa, avocado, or hot sauce.
