Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Whisk
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or oil.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the sausage. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt.
  4. Spread the frozen shredded potatoes evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, milk, Dijon mustard, remaining 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  6. Stir in the cooked sausage mixture and 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture.
  7. Pour the egg and sausage mixture evenly over the shredded potatoes in the baking dish.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
  9. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
  10. Let the casserole rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

This casserole can be assembled the night before and refrigerated. Bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
