Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup diced bell peppers
- 0.5 cup diced onion
- 3 cups frozen hash browns
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons green onions (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until it is browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Remove from heat and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté the diced bell peppers and onions until they are tender, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread the frozen hash browns evenly on the bottom of the greased baking dish.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the hash browns, followed by the sautéed bell peppers and onion.
Pour the egg mixture over the layers in the baking dish, ensuring it covers everything evenly.
Top with the shredded cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly over the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
Slice into portions and serve warm. Enjoy your Good Morning Casserole!
