Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (if baking immediately). Grease a 9x13 pan or a 3qt casserole dish.
  2. If using breakfast sausage links, cut the breakfast sausages into 4 pieces about ½-inch long.
  3. Place sausages in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat until are browned, about 7-8 minutes. Add onion to the pan and cook until the sausages are cooked through and the onion is softened, about 3 minutes more. Drain any fat and set aside to cool.
  4. Place the sausage mixture, thawed hash browns, bell pepper, green chiles, and half of each of the cheeses in the prepared pan. Stir to combine.
  5. Whisk the egg mixture in a large bowl until smooth. Pour over the hashbrowns.
  6. Cover and refrigerate overnight* if desired or bake immediately.
  7. Bake covered for 40 minutes. Uncover, top with remaining 1 cup of cheese, and bake an additional 30-35 minutes or until cooked through.

Notes

  • If casserole is refrigerated overnight, remove it from the fridge 30 minutes before baking. It may require an extra 10-15 minutes cooking time.
  • Frozen diced potatoes make this quick and easy. If you'd like to use your own fresh potatoes, peel and dice 1/2". Cook the diced potatoes (either boil, roast, or panfry) until tender. Shredded hashbrowns work too.
  • If adding other vegetables, be sure to pre-cook any that have a lot of water (like mushrooms).
  • Remove the casserole from the fridge while the oven preheats.
  • After baking, let the casserole rest for about 10-15 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
