NOTE: these ingredients and instructions are modified from what is on the Simply Potatoes package. The recipe tastes GREAT their way too, but is a lot higher in calories and fat. I have made this recipewith turkey sausage and it turned out very well. I expect it would be good with turkey bacon too!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a medium to large sized casserole dish with non fat cooking spray.
Place a layer of the hash browns on the bottom of the pan. Then scatter a layer of about a third of the red bell pepper. Then sprinkle with a quater cup of the cheese.
Repeat the process lasagna style until you have a quater of a cup of cheese in reserve. Set it aside.
Mix the egg whites and the milk, and pour them gently over top of the layered potatoes. Press gently on the top.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45minutes.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the remaining cheese and return to oven, uncoverd for 30 minutes (until cheese is golden).
