Ingredients

• 10 large eggs
• 1.5 cups milk
• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 3 cups frozen hash browns
• 2 cups cheddar cheese
• 1 large bell pepper
• 1 medium onion
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or a light coat of olive oil.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add olive oil, diced onion, and bell pepper. Sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Remove from heat.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Spread the frozen hash browns evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Layer the cooked sausage over the hash browns, followed by the sautéed vegetables.

Step 7

Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage and vegetables, reserving the remaining 1/2 cup for later.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers in the baking dish, ensuring it fully covers the ingredients.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and the top is golden brown.

Step 11

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