Ingredients

• 1 lb ground breakfast sausage
• 10 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 cups frozen hash browns
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until fully browned and crumbly. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.

Step 3

Using the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and yellow onion. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until slightly softened. Remove from heat.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Stir the cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, hash browns, and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set, and the top is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Cut into squares and enjoy!
