Breakfast Brunch Casserole
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 8 cups shredded (hash brown style) potatoes
- 6 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups shredded colby jack cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
(Serves up to 8 hungry house guests.)
Directions
- Brown ground sausage in a skillet until thoroughly cooked through, and drain excess grease.
- Lightly oil a 9×13” (or larger) casserole dish and fill it with 8 cups of shredded potatoes. You can either buy a bag of frozen pre-shredded potatoes, or quickly shred them up yourself using the shredding blade of a food processor.
- Next, sprinkle approximately 1 cup of cheese evenly over the top of the shredded potatoes. Layer cooked sausage over the cheese, and finish with the remaining cup of cheese sprinkled evenly over the top.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper.
- Pour egg mixture evenly over the top of the entire hashbrown/sausage/cheese dish.
- Cover dish with aluminum foil and either store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, or bake immediately. Bake COVERED at 350˚ for 55-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. (Note: This dish may take slightly longer to bake up if it has been refrigerated first.)
- Serve it up and enjoy!
