Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork or turkey sausage
  • ½ cup green pepper chopped
  • ½ cup red pepper chopped
  • ¼ cup onion chopped
  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  • 12 eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 20- ounce bag frozen hash browns thawed
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided

Instructions

  1. Brown the sausage meat in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it is thoroughly cooked and the meat is no longer pink. Move the cooked meat to a bowl to cool.
  2. Return the skillet to the stovetop and add the green pepper, red pepper, and onion in the drippings from the sausage. Cook until tender and the onions are translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute or until fragrant.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  4. To a medium sized bowl, add the eggs, half and half, salt, and pepper. Whisk well to incorporate.
  5. In a large bowl, add the meat, cooked vegetables, egg mixture, hash browns, and 1 cup of the cheddar cheese. Mix well.
  6. Spray a large casserole dish with cooking spray. Pour the hash brown mixture into the casserole dish and spread evenly.
  7. Place the casserole dish into the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes or until eggs are cooked through in the middle of the dish.
  8. Remove the dish and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese. Return the dish to the oven and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
  9. Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
  10. Serve warm with sliced green onion for garnish.

Recipe Notes

Baking time will depend on the depth of the dish, so just keep an eye on it about every 10-15 minutes. I used a 9x13 dish for this recipe and it turned out great at 45 minutes.
