Hashbrown sausage bake

1-30ounce package frozen hash brown potatoes (thawed)

1 lb sausage

1 medium onion, chopped

½ green pepper, chopped

1 cup shredded cheddar, divided

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

8 eggs

2 cups milk

1 tsp paprika



Sauté sausage with onions & peppers until sausage is brown and crumbled, drain. In a large bowl, combine sausage-veggie mixture with potatoes and ½ cup cheese. Spoon into a greased 9x13 dish. Beat eggs with milk until smooth, pour over hash browns, sprinkle with paprika. At this point you can cover and refrigerate overnight or bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes until golden brown, then top with remaining cheese. If you refrigerate overnight, let sit on counter 30 minutes before baking.
