Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground breakfast sausage
- 10 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 cups frozen hash browns
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or oil.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until fully browned and crumbly. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.
Using the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and yellow onion. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until slightly softened. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Stir the cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, hash browns, and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set, and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Cut into squares and enjoy!
