Ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 3 cups frozen hash browns
• 2 bell peppers (any color)
• 1 medium onion
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter or non-stick spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Dice the bell peppers and onion into small pieces. In the same skillet (if desired), sauté the peppers and onion for 3-4 minutes until softened. Remove from heat.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Layer the frozen hash browns evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Sprinkle the cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the hash browns, ensuring even distribution.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients in the baking dish, making sure it spreads to all corners.

Step 8

Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
