This is an awesome breakfast casserole that is prepared ahead. It is easy and different. I found it in the December 2003 Southern Living magazine. We have had it for Christmas morning breakfast two years running. It's a hit at our house! Ingredients:
1 lb ground sausage ( hot or sage flavored) |
1/4 cup chopped onion |
2 1/2 cups frozen cubed hash brown potatoes |
5 large eggs, lightly beaten |
8 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese (2 cups) |
1 3/4 cups milk |
1 cup baking mix |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Cook sausage and onion in large frying pan over medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until meat crumbles.
2. Stir in hash browns, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink and hash browns are lightly browned.
3. Drain mixture well on paper towels.
4. Spoon mixture into a lightly greased 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
5. A stoneware baking dish works really well.
6. Stir together the lightly beaten eggs, shredded cheese, milk, baking mix, salt and pepper.
7. Pour evenly over sausage/hashbrown mixture.
8. Stir well.
9. Cover and chill for 8 hours.
10. Bake covered with foil at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
11. Uncover and bake 10 to 15 more minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
12. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes.
13. You can also keep the casserole warm until you are ready to eat by covering it with foil and putting it in a 200 degree oven.
14. Optional toppings: sour cream, favorite sauce of your choice (picante, hot sauce) You can also garnish it with parsley.
