Steps:
- Cook the sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a bowl to cool slightly and discard any fat left behind in the skillet.
- Coat the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Layer half of the hash brown potatoes with half the sausage. Toss the bell peppers with the Cheddar, red onion and 1 cup of the mozzarella. Layer half the mixture over the sausage, then repeat the layering with the remaining potatoes, sausage and vegetable-cheese mixture.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl, then pour over the casserole mixture. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1 cup mozzarella, then cover and cook on low until the eggs are set and have become a custard, about 7 hours. Turn off the heat, uncover and let rest for about 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle with sliced scallions and serve with hot sauce and ketchup.

Steps:
- Add the breakfast sausage to a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook, breaking up with a spatula until no longer pink, 7-8 minutes.
- Add the white and light green scallions, ½ of the bell pepper, and ½ of the spinach. Sauté for 2 minutes, until the spinach is wilted, then add the rest of the spinach and continue cooking until wilted. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool.

- Grease a 9 (22 cm) x 13-inch (33 cm) glass baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Add the cubed bread to the baking dish. If you don't have day-old bread, spread the cubed bread on a baking sheet and dry out in a 300˚F (150˚C) oven for 15-20 minutes.
- Sprinkle 1 cup (100 G) of shredded cheese over the bread, then evenly spread the sausage mixture on top. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage mixture. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
- In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the chicken stock and heavy cream.
- Pour over the chilled bake. Sprinkle the remaining cup of cheese and remaining bell pepper over the top.
