Ingredients

• 12 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 32 ounces frozen hash brown potatoes
• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 1 small onion
• 0.25 cup chopped green onions (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until fully browned and cooked through. Break it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.

Step 2

Dice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion into small pieces. Set aside.

Step 3

Spray the inside of a 6-quart crock pot with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Layer the ingredients in the crock pot as follows: half of the frozen hash browns, half of the cooked sausage, half of the diced vegetables (red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion), and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers with the remaining hash browns, sausage, vegetables, and cheese.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the crock pot.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours or until the eggs are set and the casserole is fully cooked.

Step 8

Once done, garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
