Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Baking Dish:
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

3. Cook the Sausage and Vegetables:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, approximately 8 minutes.
- Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for an additional 3 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the sliced green onions, cook for 1 minute, then remove from heat.

4. Assemble the Casserole:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, hot sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Add the hash browns to the egg mixture and stir to coat.
- Spread the hash brown mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Spoon the cooked sausage and vegetable mixture over the hash browns.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.

5. Bake:
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

6. Rest and Serve:
- Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
