Country Breakfast Pie

This recipe has been made every Christmas morning for many years. It's one my daughters ask for whenever they're home for the holidays. In the past I had pre-cooked diced potatoes until frozen potatoes was available.

Ingredients

• 1 frozen pie crust
• 8 oz. pork sausage, browned and drained
• 1 cup Southern-style frozen hash-brown potatoes, thawed
• 1/4 cup sliced green onion
• 1/4 cup chopped red or green bell pepper
• 1/4 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk (2% ok)
• 1/4 tsp. seasoned salt
• 1/4 tsp. coarsely ground pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place crust on baking sheet. Sprinkle sausage on bottom of crust. Top with potatoes, onions, bell peppers and cheese. Beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper until blended; pour over sausage-potato mixture in crust. Bake 30 minutes or until egg mixture is cooked and crust is lightly browned. Sprinkle with additional cheese and peppers, if desired.
