Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°. Generously coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick olive oil spray.
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Spray skillet with olive oil spray. Add diced bell pepper and 3/4 of the chopped green onions. Stir and cook until the pepper is crisp-tender, about 8 minutes.
3. Add spinach a few handfuls at a time and stir until spinach wilts, about 2 minutes. Add vegetables to the mixing bowl with sliced Bilinski’s chicken sausage.
4. Add the thawed hash browns and fat-free cheddar cheese to your mixing bowl. Gently stir to combine.
5. In a separate larger mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, hot sauce, salt, and pepper until blended.
6. Pour the egg mixture over the hash brown mixture and stir gently to combine. Carefully pour into your prepared baking dish. Use a spoon to prod filling into an even layer. Top evenly with the 3/4 cup of goat cheese.
7. Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
8. Remove the foil and continue baking until the eggs are set and potatoes are tender-15 to 20 additional minutes. Let rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with the reserved green onions. Slice and enjoy!
