Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 4 cups frozen hash browns
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 large eggs
- 1.5 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 as needed butter or cooking spray (for greasing)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into crumbles, until fully browned. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion and bell pepper for 3-4 minutes until softened. Remove from heat.
Step 4
Spread the frozen hash browns evenly across the bottom of the greased casserole dish.
Step 5
Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the hash browns, followed by the sautéed onion and bell pepper.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 7
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole filling, ensuring it seeps into the layers.
Step 8
Top with the shredded cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly across the casserole.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set, the top is golden, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 10
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing into portions. Serve warm and enjoy!
