Ingredients
- 1 pound ground Italian sausage (hot, mild or sweet)
- 1 medium white onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, cored and diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (20 ounce) bag frozen diced hash brown potatoes*, thawed
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
- 6 eggs
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt*
- a few generous twists of freshly-cracked black pepper
- toppings: thinly sliced green onions, sliced avocado and/or hot sauce
Method
Prepare oven. Warm oven to 375°F.
Brown the sausage. Leave over medium-a hot burner in a large sauté pan until browned, crumbling the sausage with a spoon as it cooks. Move sausage with a slotted spoon to a large mixing bowl. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the remaining sausage grease in the sauté, and discard the rest.
Sauté veggies. Tip in onion and bell pepper to the pan and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Tip in garlic and sauté for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Move the vegetable mixture into the mixing bowl with the sausage. Tip in the thawed diced potatoes and 1 1/2 cups cheese to the mixing bowl with the sausage and veggies. Turn gently until evenly combined.
Tip in the eggs. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and black pepper until combined. Tip in the egg mixture to the potato mixture and toss gently to combine.
Roast Tip the mixture into a 9x13-inch* baking dish and top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese. Lid with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes. Lift the aluminum foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the potatoes in the center are cooked through. Move the baking dish to a wire rack.
Plate Plate warm, garnished with your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
