Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• In a large skillet, brown the sausage over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease. Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
• Stir in the cream of mushroom soup and sour cream until well combined.
• Fold in the thawed hash brown potatoes and half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
• Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top.
• Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
• Let stand for a few minutes before serving.
