Time Needed:
Prep: 10 – 15 minutes (including assembly)
Cooking Time: 45 – 60 Minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 Links Southside Smoked Sausage, diced – Country Style or Original Beef recommended
- 1 bag frozen hash brown shredded potatoes, thawed (24 oz.)
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 white onion, diced
- 12 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp Southside Oak Smoked Black Pepper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 13″ x 9″ pan with cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, then onions and bell peppers. Cook, stirring often, for about 3 minutes. Add sausage and continue to cook and stir for another 3-4 minutes, or until vegetables are soft. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper until well combined.
Layer thawed shredded potatoes in the bottom of the pan. Top with sausage and pepper mixture, then cheese, then eggs. Use a fork or spoon to stir ingredients together slightly to make sure that the eggs are evenly distributed.
** At this point, you can return the casserole to the fridge if you plan to cook it within 8-12 hours. Great way to make ahead for the next day!
