Ingredients

  • 1 cup breakfast sausage cooked/crumbled
  • 10 lices thick-cut bacon cooked/crumbled
  • 40 oz hash brown potatoes frozen/refrigerated
  • 32 oz. sour cream regular
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 6 TB ranch seasoning or 2 packages store-bought
  • 1 red bell pepper seeded and chopped
  • 1 tsp table salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • chopped chives or parsley for garnish, optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400F with rack on lower middle position. Set aside 1/4 cup bacon for topping.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together all ingredients until fully combined well. Transfer to a 9x13 baking pan. Sprinkle reserved 1/4 cup bacon evenly on top.
  3. If baking right away, bake for 45-60 minutes uncovered, until top is golden. Otherwise, cover tightly and chill overnight; you'll need to add bake time if the casserole is cold.
  4. If desired, garnish with chives or parsley. Serve while hot.

  • We recommend using sharp cheddar cheese for this casserole, but you can also use other types of cheese.
