- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 medium bell pepper, diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
Spread the frozen hash browns evenly in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the melted butter over the hash browns and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Pour the egg mixture over the layer of hash browns in the baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with sliced green onions, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!
