Good Morning! If you're like me, there's nothing better than a delicious, hearty, and home cooked breakfast! The problem is, who feels like slaving away at the stove in the early hours to create such a meal? I certainly do not! This casserole is perfect b/c you can put it together the night before and just pop it in the oven when you wake up! Give it a try soon!
Ingredients:
- 1 bag frozen hash browns w/green/red pepper added
- 1 pkg. sausage of your choice, casings removed (if they have them)
- 1 or 2 onions (depending on sized), chopped
- 8 to 10 eggs, beaten
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese
*You can also add mushrooms and green pepper. I did not do that this time around*
Directions:
1. Chop up your onions and remove your sausage from it's casing. You can do this by using a sharp knife and slicing the casing down the middle. The sausage pops right out.
2. Cook your sausage and onion is a bit of Olive oil until browned. With a slotted spoon, remove to a bowl.
3. In your casserole dish, place a layer of frozen hash browns on the bottom. You could also spray the bottom of your dish with spray to limit the amount of sticking. But, I've never done this and I've never had an issue. Be cautious though.
4. On top of the hash browns, place the sausage/onion mixture.
5. Now in a bowl, crack your eggs. I ended up only needing 9 eggs here and it was perfect. Beat them together with a whisk and add some salt/pepper.
6. Now pour the eggs over your entire mixture. Add some shredded cheese. Now refrigerate overnight.
7. The next day, take out your casserole and place in a 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes or until you have a nice browned top and everything is cooked through.
Here's the final product.....
We enjoy ours with some biscuits or toast and some fruit. It's filling enough for dinner as well, which is how we eat it most of the time, lol. Enjoy!
