Heat oven to 350.
Spray 8-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large skillet, cook the sausage, bell pepper and jalapeno until the
sausage is browned.
Drain.
Layer half of the
potatoes, half of the sausage and 3/4 cup of the cheese. Repeat.
Combine eggs and milk in a bowl, and beat well.
Pour evenly over the potato, sausage and cheese mixture and press lightly
to make sure the liquid is distributed evenly.
Cover with foil and bake
45 minutes. Uncover and add tomato
and remaining 1/2 cup of cheese. Bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes or until a knife inserted
in the center comes out clean.
Let stand 5 minutes
before serving.
NOTES:
If you double the
recipe for a 13 x 9 pan, increase the baking time about 10 minutes.
Any hash brown potatoes will do but Simply Potatoes Southwest Style
adds really great flavor.
You can also add a small amount of chopped onion with the green
pepper if you like.
We like it spicy so
we buy different types of Mexican Mix shredded cheese - you can use any
combination you like and change the flavor each time you cook this.
