Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain excess grease and set the sausage aside.

Spread the frozen shredded hash browns evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Sprinkle the cooked sausage, diced onion, and diced bell pepper evenly over the hash browns.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture over the contents of the baking dish, ensuring it spreads evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.

Step 9

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.

Step 11

Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your hearty Midwest Breakfast Casserole!
