Ingredients
  

Casserole Base
  • 1 pound Sausage Substitute with turkey sausage for a leaner option.
  • 12 large Eggs Use large eggs for best results.
  • 3 cups Hash Browns Frozen hash browns, thawed before use.

  • Baking Dish

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Add diced onion and bell peppers, sautéing for another 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  3. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them until frothy and well-combined, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Gently fold the sausage mixture into the whisked eggs until fully combined.
  5. Fold in the thawed hash browns and shredded cheddar cheese until everything is evenly mixed.
  6. Prepare a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and pour the mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for around 60 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  8. Let the casserole cool for about 5-10 minutes after baking, then cut into squares and serve warm.

Notes

Allow the sausage mixture to cool slightly before adding eggs to prevent curdling. For deeper flavors, prepare the casserole the night before and refrigerate. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
