Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 3 cups frozen shredded hash browns
- 8 units large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
- 0.25 cup chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon salted butter (for greasing the dish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the butter.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage, breaking it into crumbles, until fully cooked and browned (about 8 minutes). Drain any excess grease and set aside.
Layer the frozen shredded hash browns evenly across the greased baking dish.
If using, sprinkle the diced bell peppers evenly over the hash browns.
Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the hash brown layer.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the middle and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Optional: Garnish with chopped green onions before serving for added color and flavor.
