Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 3 cups frozen hash browns
- 2 bell peppers (any color)
- 1 medium onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter or non-stick spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
Step 3
Dice the bell peppers and onion into small pieces. In the same skillet (if desired), sauté the peppers and onion for 3-4 minutes until softened. Remove from heat.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Step 5
Layer the frozen hash browns evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Step 6
Sprinkle the cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the hash browns, ensuring even distribution.
Step 7
Pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients in the baking dish, making sure it spreads to all corners.
Step 8
Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden brown.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
