Breakfast Casserole

This is a recipe I make on Christmas eve and bake Christmas morning while we are opening gifts.  Super good!

1     package hash brown potatoes, Simply Potatoes - shredded potatoes, fried til golden brown
1     onion, medium, diced
1     red and yellow bell pepper, diced
1     package sausage, brown and serve, cooked and sliced into bite-sized pieces
12    eggs, whipped with dash of milk, salt & pepper
2     cups cheddar cheese, shredded

Cook hash browns, spread in bottom of buttered 13 x 9 baking dish.  Saute onions and peppers; spread over potatoes.  Place slices of sausage on top of casserole.  Spread 1 1/2 cups cheese over entire casserole.  Pour eggs  into casserole.  Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Remove from oven 5 minutes early and sprinkle remaining cheese on top, then bake until melted. 

*May substitute diced ham for the sausage.
