Ingredients

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cups frozen hash browns
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

  1. In a skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and drain any excess grease.
  2. In the same skillet, add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. In a slow cooker, layer half of the cooked sausage, cooked vegetables, and frozen hash browns.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour half of the egg mixture over the sausage, vegetables, and hash browns in the slow cooker.
  5. Layer the remaining sausage, vegetables, and hash browns in the slow cooker. Pour the remaining egg mixture over the top.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the casserole.
  7. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the eggs are set and the casserole is heated through.
  8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
  9. Serve hot and enjoy!
