Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 8 large eggs
- 1.5 cups milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 cups frozen hash browns (thawed)
- 1 medium green bell pepper (diced)
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the dish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter to prevent sticking and set it aside.
Step 3
In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Use a spatula to break it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 5
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, thawed hash browns, cooked sausage, diced green bell pepper, and diced onion to the bowl. Stir everything together until evenly mixed.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 7
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
Step 8
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing into squares.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy!
