Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 3 cups frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
- ½ cup Cheddar cheese
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1/4 (1-pound) package Jimmy Dean Premium Pork Sausage
- ¼ cup diced red bell pepper
- ¼ cup diced white onion
- 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
- 12 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Lightly spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.
- In a bowl, mix thawed hash browns, cheese, salt, and pepper. Evenly distribute the mixture in the muffin cups, pressing down the bottoms and up on the sides to create “cups.” Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.
- In a small frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds. Add Jimmy Dean sausage and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until browned, stirring frequently to break up the sausage into small pieces. Drain.
- In a bowl, mix the cooked Jimmy Dean sausage with the bell pepper, onion, and green chili.
- Carefully remove the muffin tin from the oven and fill halfway with the sausage and pepper mix. Top each cup with 1 raw egg.
- Place the muffin tin back in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the eggs have set to your liking.
- Enjoy immediately, or store in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave or oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Use the leftover Jimmy Dean Sausage to make sausage patties or crumbles to serve with eggs.
