  • 1/4 bell pepper (any color) (optional)
  • handful of sliced mushrooms (optional)

  • 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1-2 cups mexican cheese
  • black pepper to taste

  3. Brown the sausage, onions, and peppers/mushrooms/what-have-you in a skillet over medium heat
  4. Whisk the eggs, milk, garlic powder, and pepper
  5. Spread the hashbrowns into the baking dish
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the hashbrowns
  7. Layer down half the cheese – enough to cover the hashbrowns
  8. Spread out the sausage mixture
  9. Layer down the rest of the cheese – enough to cover everything
  10. Cover with aluminum foil and back for an hour
