Ingredients

• 8 eggs
• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup milk
• 1 medium onion, diced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with a non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the breakfast sausage to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until fully browned and no longer pink, about 7-8 minutes. Remove from heat and drain excess grease if necessary.

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

Step 5

Layer the cooked sausage and vegetable mixture over the hash browns, spreading evenly.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and veggies in the casserole dish, ensuring it spreads evenly to cover everything.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is set in the center.

Step 11

Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Sunday Morning Casserole!
