Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 cups frozen hash browns
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1 medium bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- cooking spray
Instructions
Spray the inside of the crock pot with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Brown the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart into crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess grease and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until fully combined.
Layer 1.5 cups of hash browns at the bottom of the crock pot.
Add half of the browned sausage, half of the diced bell pepper, half of the diced onion, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the hash browns.
Repeat the layers: add the remaining 1.5 cups of hash browns, the rest of the sausage, bell pepper, onion, and the final 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over all the layers in the crock pot, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 6 hours, or until the eggs are fully set and the edges are golden brown.
Once done, turn off the crock pot and let the casserole cool slightly for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Garnish with additional shredded cheese or chopped green onions, if desired. Enjoy!
