Ingredients
  

1 lb breakfast sausage (bulk or casing removed)

6 large eggs

2 cups milk

4 cups frozen hash browns (thawed)

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 medium onion, diced

1 bell pepper (green or red), diced

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

½ tsp dried thyme

1 cup diced tomatoes (drained if canned, optional)

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula until it's browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and drain excess fat if needed.

      In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Add in garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Mix well.

        In the greased baking dish, layer the thawed hash browns evenly across the bottom. Top the hash browns with the cooked sausage, followed by the diced onion, bell pepper, and diced tomatoes (if using).

          Pour the egg mixture over the top, making sure it covers all the ingredients evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.

            Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

              Once finished, remove from the oven and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
