Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add onions and cook until translucent, then add bell peppers until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Grate hash browns if using fresh potatoes, pat them dry to remove excess moisture for a crispy layer.
  4. Whisk together eggs and heavy cream, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Layer grated potatoes, sausage mixture, and cheese in the baking dish. Pour egg custard evenly over the top.
  6. Cover and bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil, add remaining cheese, and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden.
  7. Let the casserole rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
