Method
- Preheat your oven to 400℉. Spray a 9x13 inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Add the hash browns to the prepared baking dish. Pour the melted butter over the hash browns and toss to coat. Spread the hash browns evenly and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until they start to crisp and the edges turn golden brown.
- While the hash browns bake, brown the ground sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced bell peppers and sliced green onions to the skillet with the sausage. Continue to cook until the sausage is no longer pink. Drain any excess liquid and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, shredded cheese, milk, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), salt, and pepper.
- Once the hash browns are done, remove them from the oven. Evenly top the hash browns with the cooked sausage, pepper, and onion mixture.
- Pour the egg mixture over the contents in the baking dish, ensuring it covers everything evenly.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the center is cooked through. If the edges start to brown too quickly, you can cover the dish with foil. Baking time may vary depending on your dish size and type. Begin checking for doneness around the 30-minute mark.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes
Homemade Sausage Recipe: Mix together 1 pound ground turkey or pork, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon dried fennel, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, a pinch of cayenne, ½ teaspoon fine salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
Overnight Instructions: Follow the recipe through step 5. Allow the hash browns and sausage mixture to cool for at least 30 minutes before adding the egg mixture. Once cooled, pour the egg mixture over the hash browns and sausage mixture, cover, and refrigerate overnight. When ready to bake, remove the dish from the refrigerator, uncover, and proceed with step 7. You may need to add an additional 5 minutes to the baking time. Alternatively, to ensure the dish is cool enough, you can wait to pour the eggs into the dish until just before baking. Store the egg mixture, covered, in the fridge overnight. When ready to make the egg bake, simply pour the egg mixture over the hash browns and sausage and bake.
