Ingredients

• 1 pound gluten-free breakfast sausage
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 cups shredded hash browns
• 10 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the gluten-free breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and red bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Spread the shredded hash browns evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Layer the cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, and 1.5 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese over the hash browns.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the baking dish.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.

Step 9

Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
