Ingredients

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage

  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups frozen hash browns, thawed
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and drain any excess grease.
  3. In the same skillet, add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Spread the thawed hash browns evenly in the greased baking dish. Top with the cooked breakfast sausage and sautéed vegetables.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage, vegetables, and hash browns. Use a fork to gently mix everything together, ensuring all ingredients are coated with the egg mixture.
  7. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the casserole.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
  10. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
  11. Enjoy your delicious country breakfast casserole!
