Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 cups frozen shredded hash browns
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 1 medium, diced bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 serving cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain excess grease and set the sausage aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread the frozen shredded hash browns evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage, diced onion, and diced bell pepper evenly over the hash browns.
Pour the egg mixture over the contents of the baking dish, ensuring it spreads evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your hearty Midwest Breakfast Casserole!
