Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Hash Casserole Recipe

This is a quick and easy crowd pleaser if you need to entertain a large party.

Ingredients
1 pound Italian sausage (e.g., hot Italian sausage or sweet Italian sausage)
1 medium white onion, peeled and diced
1 red bell pepper, cored and diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
6 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1 bag (~20 ounce) frozen hash browns, slightly thawed
2 cups (8 ounce) shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar)
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional toppings: sliced scallions, avocado

Directions
Preheat oven to 375F.

Add the sausage to a medium pan and cook over medium-high heat until browned, crumbing the sausage as it cooks.  Remove sausage and transfer to a large bowl.  Add the onion, red pepper, and garlic to the same pan, and saute until soft.  Season with salt and pepper.  Add vegetable mixture to the mixing bowl with the sausage.  Add the hash browns and half of the cheese to the mixing bowl.  Mix well.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until combined.  Lightly season with pepper.  Add mixture to the hashbrown mixture, and stir to combine.  Pour into a 9x13-inch baking dish, and top with the remaining cheese.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.  Then remove the aluminum foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes begin to slightly brown.  Remove from oven and garnish with green onions and/or sliced avocado and serve.
