A Cheesy Amish Breakfast Casserole typically includes layers of eggs, cheese, and breakfast meats like sausage or bacon, often mixed with diced potatoes or hash browns. It’s a hearty dish that’s baked until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted, creating a satisfying breakfast or brunch option.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound breakfast sausage (or bacon, diced ham, etc.)
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 (30 oz) package frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 12 large eggs
• 1 cup milk (or half-and-half for richer texture)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• Optional: chopped fresh parsley or green onions for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Casserole Dish:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
2. Cook Sausage and Vegetables:
   • In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
   • Add diced onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook until vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if needed.
3. Assemble the Casserole:
   • Spread the thawed hash browns evenly in the prepared baking dish.
   • Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the hash browns.
   • Spread the cooked sausage and vegetable mixture evenly over the cheese.
4. Prepare the Egg Mixture:

5. Bake:
   • Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole.
   • Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top.
   • Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the casserole is cooked through.
6. Serve:
   • Let the casserole cool slightly before serving.
   • Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if desired.
