Ingredients

• 8 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
• 3 cups frozen hash brown potatoes
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the frozen hash brown potatoes, cooked sausage, diced green chilies, diced tomatoes (drained), and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture. Stir everything until evenly incorporated.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.

Step 6

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the middle and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 8

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced green onions, if desired, and serve warm.
