Description

A comforting breakfast casserole filled with sausage, hash browns, and cheese, perfect for family gatherings or weekend brunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb beef sausage (or chicken strips)
  • 1 package (30 oz) frozen hash browns
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (or non-dairy milk)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned (5-7 minutes), then drain excess fat.
  2. In a large bowl, mix cooked sausage, frozen hash browns, 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, onion, and bell pepper.
  3. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour over the sausage mixture and stir to coat.
  4. Transfer to a greased casserole dish, top with remaining cheese, and bake for 45-60 minutes until set and golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, omit meat and add extra veggies. You can also use diced potatoes or leftover roasted potatoes if you don’t have hash browns.
