Ingredients

Servings4

Yields 4 servings

  • (1 lb) breakfast sausage
  • (1/2 cups) chopped onion
  • (1/2 cups) chopped bell pepper
  • (1) (30 oz) bag frozen hash browns
  • (8) large eggs
  • (1 cup) milk
  • (1 cup) shredded cheddar cheese
  • (1 tsp) salt
  • (1/2 tsp) black pepper
  • (1/2 tsp) garlic powder
  • (1/2 tsp) paprika

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175 °C).

  2. 2

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook 1 lb breakfast sausage until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp paprika until well combined. Add 2/4 tsp black pepper, 2/4 tsp garlic powder, and 2/4 tsp paprika.

  5. 5

    In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spread the frozen hash browns evenly across the bottom.

  6. 6

    Layer the cooked sausage mixture over the hash browns, followed by 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.

  7. 7

    Pour the egg mixture evenly over the entire casserole, ensuring everything is well coated.

  8. 8

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

  9. 9

    Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
