Ingredients

• 8 pieces large eggs
• 1.5 cups milk
• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 cups hash browns
• 1 cup bell peppers (any color, diced)
• 0.5 cup diced onion
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 spray cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and sauté the diced onions and bell peppers for 3-4 minutes or until softened. Remove the vegetables and set them aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into small crumbles, until fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Layer the hash browns evenly into the prepared baking dish. Top with the sautéed vegetables and cooked sausage.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Slice into squares and serve warm.
