Ingredients

• 10 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
• 3 cups frozen shredded hash browns
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with unsalted butter or cooking spray.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set it aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, sauté the diced green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and onion for 5 minutes, or until softened.

Step 5

Spread the shredded hash browns evenly in the greased baking dish. Layer the cooked sausage evenly over the hash browns, followed by the sautéed vegetables.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the sausage and vegetable layer.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the contents of the baking dish, ensuring it seeps down to the bottom layers.

Step 9

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy your hearty Cowboy Breakfast Casserole!
