Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by thawing the frozen shredded hash browns in the refrigerator overnight or using the microwave. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while you grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the beef breakfast sausage and diced bacon for approximately 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease, then add the diced bell peppers and spinach, sautéing for an additional 3-5 minutes until the veggies are tender.
- Press the thawed hash browns evenly into the bottom of the greased baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, cream cheese, and sour cream until smooth. Stir in the ranch seasoning mix, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Layer the cooked sausage, bacon, sautéed bell peppers, and spinach over the pressed hash browns. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Pour the prepared egg mixture over the layered ingredients, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Top with remaining cheddar cheese.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 25-35 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center has set.
- Once baked, remove the casserole and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes
Customize ingredients with seasonal vegetables or spices, but avoid too many watery veggies to prevent a soggy base.
