How to Make Sausage Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray, and set aside. Cook the sausage and bell peppers. When almost cooked through, toss in the green onions. Whisk the eggs, milk, ground mustard, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the shredded hash browns, cooked sausage mixture, and shredded cheese, and combine. Pour into the casserole dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. This is when you can cover and refrigerate overnight. Or bake at 350º for 55-60 minutes. Serve and enjoy a stress-free breakfast with a fruit salad if you like.
