Creating Farmers Casserole is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to whip up this delicious dish:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) for even cooking.
2. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it’s browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the diced onion and bell peppers to the skillet, cooking until they’re tender, about 5 minutes.
4. Whisk the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, adding salt and pepper to taste.
5. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage and vegetables with the thawed hash browns. Pour in the egg mixture and stir until everything is well combined.
6. Add Cheese: Gently fold in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, reserving the other 0.5 cup for topping.
7. Transfer to Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and pour the mixture into it, spreading it evenly.
8. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the casserole for a cheesy finish.
9. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is bubbly.
10. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

With these simple steps, you’ll have an incredible Farmers Casserole ready to enjoy. It’s a delightful and filling breakfast that will make every morning feel special.
