Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Frozen hash browns (shredded)
- 1 pound Breakfast sausage (ground)
- 8 pieces Large eggs
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Onion (diced)
- 1 medium Green bell pepper (diced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing the dish)
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 ground breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Remove from heat and drain any excess grease.
In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and green bell pepper for 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Remove from heat.
Spread the frozen hash browns evenly across the prepared baking dish.
Layer the cooked sausage, sautéed onions, and green bell peppers evenly over the hash browns.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until fully combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your hearty breakfast casserole!
