Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the butter.

Layer the frozen shredded hash browns evenly across the greased baking dish.

Step 4

If using, sprinkle the diced bell peppers evenly over the hash browns.

Step 5

Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the hash brown layer.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers in the baking dish.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the middle and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Optional: Garnish with chopped green onions before serving for added color and flavor.
