Ingredients

  • ½ pound ground sausage
  • 1 red pepper diced
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 pound hash brown potatoes frozen, shredded
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
  • 12 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook sausage, pepper, and onion until sausage is browned and vegetables are tender. Drain off any excess fat.
  2. In a large bowl, combine sausage mixture with hash browns and cheddar cheese. Pour into a greased 9x13 baking dish.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine eggs and milk. Whisk until fully blended. Pour over hash brown mixture.
  4. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes, or until eggs are set in the center and don't jiggle.

Notes

  • To freeze, follow all the directions in the recipe below, and then cover the cooled casserole tightly with a layer of plastic wrap, then a layer of aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. You can also store the same way in individual portions so you can heat one serving at a time.
  • Store in the freezer for up to 2 months. To cook from frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight, then bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until heated through. If heating individual portions, thaw and microwave or oven bake until heated through. There's something so comforting about knowing there's a delicious breakfast option in the freezer, just waiting to be heated and served.
