Ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• 1.5 cups whole milk
• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 cups frozen hash browns
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 1 small onion
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

Dice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion into small pieces.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.

Step 4

In the same skillet, sauté the diced bell peppers and onion for 5-7 minutes, or until softened. Remove from heat.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Spread the frozen hash browns evenly across the bottom of the greased casserole dish.

Step 7

Layer the cooked sausage over the hash browns, followed by the sautéed peppers and onions.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole ingredients, ensuring everything is coated.

Step 9

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Step 10

Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 11

After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for another 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy your hearty Farmer’s Brunch Casserole!
