Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into crumbles, until fully browned (about 6-8 minutes).
Add the chopped onion and bell peppers to the skillet with the sausage. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread the frozen hash browns evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.
Scatter the cooked sausage and vegetable mixture over the hash browns.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the sausage and vegetable layer.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over all the ingredients in the baking dish, ensuring it covers everything.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
Allow the breakfast bake to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
If preparing for Once-A-Month Cooking (OAMC), let the bake cool completely. Slice into individual portions, wrap tightly, and freeze. Reheat in the microwave or oven as needed.
