Heat the oil in a large pot or sauce pan that has a lid over medium-high heat. Add the rice and stir to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the rice is lightly golden brown (about 10 minutes).
Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for about 20 minutes or until all of the liquid has been completely absorbed.
Remove from heat and allow the rice to rest for about 5 minutes before uncovering and fluffing the rice with a fork or spoon.
In a 9 x 13 baking dish or an enameled cast iron casserole dish mix the hashbrowns, sausage, rotel, green pepper, onion, spices, and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheese.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and the milk.
Pour the eggs over the casserole mix and ensure that you pour over top of the entire dish.
Top with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
Bake uncovered in the oven between 40 and 50 minutes, pending your oven.
Remove the casserole and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave.
