1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.

2. Cook the Sausage

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbled. Drain any excess grease and set aside.

3. Prepare the Hash Browns

Heat butter or oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the hash browns and cook until lightly crisped. Set them aside to cool slightly.

4. Whisk the Egg Mixture

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and paprika until well combined.

5. Assemble the Casserole

• Spread the cooked hash browns evenly in the prepared baking dish.
• Layer the cooked sausage over the hash browns.
• Sprinkle the diced peppers, onions, or any other vegetables you’re using.
• Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top.
• Finish with a generous layer of shredded cheese.

6. Bake the Casserole

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden and bubbly. Check doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.

7. Let Rest and Serve

Allow the casserole to cool for 10 minutes before slicing into portions. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve warm.
