Instructions

  6. Layer the cooked sausage, bacon, sautéed peppers, and spinach over the hash brown base, then sprinkle 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  7. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the casserole, ensuring it’s evenly distributed, and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  8. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then remove foil and bake for an additional 25-35 minutes until eggs are set and top is golden brown.
  9. Let the casserole rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
