Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 3 cups frozen shredded hash browns
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with unsalted butter or cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set it aside.
In the same skillet, sauté the diced green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and onion for 5 minutes, or until softened.
Spread the shredded hash browns evenly in the greased baking dish. Layer the cooked sausage evenly over the hash browns, followed by the sautéed vegetables.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the sausage and vegetable layer.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the contents of the baking dish, ensuring it seeps down to the bottom layers.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty Cowboy Breakfast Casserole!
