Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

-Press hashbrowns into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Melt butter and  drizzle over hash browns, place in oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until hash browns start to crisp up and turn golden brown. ** note if you use the dehydrated hash browns hydrate them per box directions first**

-In a frying pan fry breakfast sausage breaking it up into little bits, when sausage is cooked through add diced red pepper, and onion to the pan, continue to cook until veggies are tender. If there is excess grease from the sausage, remove that from the pan with a spoon.

-Whisk together eggs and milk, set aside.

-Shred cheese. Any variety you have will work, and if you prefer the pre shredded cheese in a bag that works too!

-When hashbrowns are done remove from oven and layer sausage mixture over the top, then sprinkle evenly with cheese, next pour egg mixture evenly over the casserole. Turn oven temperature down to 350 degrees. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil, return to oven for 30 minutes, remove foil and let bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until top begins to brown.

Remove from oven and let casserole rest for 10 minutes before cutting, and serving.

Serve with a fruit salad and fresh baked biscuits for the perfect breakfast, brunch, or dinner!
