Cook 1 pound of sausage with 1 bell pepper and 1 onion until the sausage is no longer pink.

Drain the sausage mixture and rinse it with hot water to eliminate grease.

In a large bowl, combine the sausage mixture with 3 cups of frozen hash browns and 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, saving 1/2 cup cheese for later.

In another bowl, mix together 1 cup of Bisquick mix, 2 cups of milk, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 4 lightly beaten eggs.

Combine the wet mixture with the sausage and hash brown mixture and mix well.

Grease a 9 by 13 baking dish and pour the mixture into it.

Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 40 to 45 minutes.

In the last few minutes of baking, add the reserved 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top.

Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
