Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 cups frozen hash browns (thawed)
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (ground)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 1 medium bell pepper (diced)
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbled. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside, draining any excess grease.
In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and bell pepper until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
To the mixture, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, thawed hash browns, cooked sausage, and sautéed vegetables. Mix thoroughly.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Easy Cheesy Brunch Casserole!
