Preheat oven to 350

Brown the sausage with a little black pepper, to taste. Drain.

In a greased 9x13 baking dish, add the potatoes. Then sprinkle the cooked sausage over top evenly.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper very well. Using a stand or hand mixer is best.

Stir the cheese into the eggs. Then pour the mixture over the sausage and potatoes. Spread out the cheese so it evenly covers the sausage.

Bake for 30 min, then cover with foil, and bake for 15 minutes longer or until the center is set.
