How to Make Breakfast Bake

  1. Cook 1 lb sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until no longer pink. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped, to the skillet. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Drain the sausage and vegetables on paper towels to remove excess grease.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 1 ¾ cups shredded cheddar cheese, 2 cups frozen shredded hash browns (thawed), 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Gently fold in the cooked sausage and vegetable mixture.
  6. Spread half of the potato mixture into a greased 3-quart shallow baking dish.
  7. Top with the sausage mixture.
  8. Top with the remaining potato mixture.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  10. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes.
  11. Uncover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
