Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium diced onion
- 1 medium diced bell pepper
- 1 sufficient to coat cooking spray
Instructions
Spray the inside of a 6-quart crock pot generously with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Layer half of the frozen shredded hash browns evenly in the bottom of the crock pot.
Sprinkle half of the cooked sausage, half of the diced onion, half of the diced bell pepper, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the hash browns.
Repeat the layers with the remaining hash browns, sausage, onion, bell pepper, and cheese.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers in the crock pot, ensuring it seeps through to the bottom.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on LOW for 8 hours, or until the eggs are fully set and the casserole is heated through.
Once cooked, turn off the crock pot and allow the casserole to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Scoop portions straight from the crock pot and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives if desired.
