Egg Bake

This is my "go-to" recipe for company, Sundays, family celebrations, and holiday gatherings.  Nothing easier and more satisfying than a hearty egg bake!  Add a bowl of fresh fruit, berries, and bread, you have an extremely nice table of food.  No one needs to know just how easy this dish is!
Ingredients:

1 package (32 ounces) frozen cubed hash brown potatoes, thawed

1 pound Jimmy Dean Hot Sausge, cooked and crumbled

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

1/2 teaspoon salt

12 eggs

2 cups milk

1 cup chopped onion

1 cup green pepper, optional

In a large bowl, combine the hash browns, sausage, 1 cup cheese and salt.  Spoon into a greased 9x13 inch pan.  In another bowl, whisk eggs and milk together; pour over the hash brown mixture.  Bake uncovered, at 350º for 50 minutes.  Sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake until melted.
