CASSEROLE

Preheat your oven to 350 F. Apply a layer of non-stick cooking spray to a 9x13-inch baking dish.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the breakfast sausages. Make sure to break them into crumbles and cook until they are no longer pink.

In a large bowl, combine grated russet potatoes, cubed ham, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, diced red bell pepper, diced green bell pepper, and diced onion.

Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray and pour the prepared mixture into it, distributing evenly.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked sausage onto a paper towel to remove excess grease.

Spread the hash browns evenly at the bottom of the greased baking dish.

In another large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and ground black pepper.

Layer the cooked sausage over the hash browns.

Pour the egg mixture over the potato and ham mixture in the baking dish.

Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the shredded three-cheese blend over the sausage.

Use the back of a wooden spoon to press down everything in the baking dish, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.

Bake for one hour, uncovered, until the center is set and the edges are golden brown.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.

Allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes before cutting into it, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Evenly pour this mixture over the cheese layer.
