Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 20 ounces frozen hash browns
- 1 medium onion
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 2 cups cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into small pieces, until browned and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the onion and red bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spread the frozen hash browns evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Top the hash browns with the cooked sausage, followed by the sautéed onion and bell pepper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and vegetables in the baking dish, ensuring it distributes evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the casserole before serving. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
