Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 cups frozen hash browns
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 3-5 minutes, until softened.
Add the breakfast sausage to the skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles. Drain any excess grease.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Layer the frozen hash browns evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Spread the cooked sausage and sautéed vegetables evenly over the hash browns.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the sausage and vegetable layer.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the entire casserole, ensuring it soaks through all layers.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
Allow the casserole to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
