Ingredients

  • 1 lb sausage (I use Jimmy Dean)
  • 24 ounces frozen hash browns, with onion and peppers
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 tsp.black pepper
  • 1 dash hot sauce (optional)
  • 8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded (more for the topping if desired)

Method

  • Set oven to 350°F.
  • Brown the sausage, drain. I like to put it in a food processor and hit pulse a few times, I don't like the larger pieces but don't go so far as to make a paste!
  • Whisk the eggs and seasonings in a bowl,.
  • add milk.
  • Spray a 9x13" pan with cooking spray.
  • Layer the ingredients as follows; all the sausage, then a layer of cheese, then half the bag of hash browns, then the cheese and the rest of the hash browns. Pour the egg/milk/ seasonings mixture over all.
  • Cover with foil bake for one hour, check for doneness, mine usually take a bit longer, but everyone's oven is different.
  • When done top with more shredded cheese and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Serve with fruit salad for a delightful brunch!
