Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 3 cups frozen hash browns
- 2 bell peppers (any color)
- 1 medium onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter or non-stick spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
Dice the bell peppers and onion into small pieces. In the same skillet (if desired), sauté the peppers and onion for 3-4 minutes until softened. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Layer the frozen hash browns evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the hash browns, ensuring even distribution.
Pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients in the baking dish, making sure it spreads to all corners.
Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
