Savory Ground Pork and Hash Brown Breakfast Bake

Ingredients

• 2 lbs ground pork
• 12 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3 tbsp Salted Perfection Santa Maria Select Blend
• 32 oz frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook it until it is thoroughly browned and crumbled. Drain off the excess fat.
3. Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the pork. Sauté them for about 5 minutes until they have softened up.
4. Stir 1 tablespoon of the Salted Perfection Santa Maria Select Blend into the pork and vegetable mixture.
5. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of the Salted Perfection Santa Maria Select Blend until the mixture is smooth.
6. Spread the thawed hash browns evenly across the bottom of your prepared baking dish.
7. Layer the cooked pork and vegetable mixture over the potatoes, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
8. Pour the egg and milk mixture over the entire dish. Give the pan a gentle shake to ensure the liquid settles through all the layers.
9. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top has turned a nice golden brown.
10. Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 10 minutes to ensure clean slices. DUNZO!
