Ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 1 medium, chopped onion
• 1 medium, chopped bell pepper
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 cups frozen hash browns
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a little oil or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the breakfast sausage to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.

Step 4

Spread the frozen hash browns evenly in the prepared baking dish. Layer the cooked sausage mixture over the hash browns.

Step 5

Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage mixture.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients in the baking dish, ensuring even distribution.

Step 8

Top the casserole with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove from oven and let cool slightly before cutting into squares to serve.
