1 lb. bulk pork sausage*
3 cups frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed

12 large eggs, beaten
2 cups milk

Directions:

Cook sausage in a skillet until browned, stirring to a crumble; drain.

Layer sausage, cheese and green pepper. Combine eggs and milk, stirring well, and pour over the green peppers.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 50 minutes. (If preparing the night before allow longer cook time due to the chill from the refrigerator.)
