Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 pound Breakfast sausage
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 20 ounces Frozen hash browns
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 1 small Yellow onion
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Prepare your slow cooker by spraying the inside with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease, then set aside.
Dice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion into small, even-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Layer half of the frozen hash browns in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Sprinkle half of the cooked sausage, half of the diced peppers and onions, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the hash browns.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining hash browns, sausage, peppers, onions, and cheese.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on LOW for 8 hours.
Once fully cooked, turn off the slow cooker. Let the casserole cool slightly for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy! Optionally, garnish with fresh chopped parsley or green onions for added flavor.
