2 pounds breakfast sausage, casings removed, meat broken up
Nonstick cooking spray, for the slow cooker
One 30-ounce bag frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
1 orange bell pepper, finely diced
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded mild Cheddar
1 medium red onion, finely diced
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded whole-milk mozzarella

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 scallions, thinly sliced
Hot sauce and ketchup, for serving

Steps:

  • 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.

8 scallions, chopped, white\light green parts and dark green parts divided
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced, divided
8 cups fresh spinach, packed

1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 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.
