Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground sausage
  • 6 slices beef
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk

  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sour cream, ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  4. In another bowl, combine hash browns, sausage, beef, onions, peppers, and 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese. Mix lightly.
