Breakfast Casserole

I'm not a big casserole fan, but I remember making this years ago and decided to throw one together the other night when we had nothing else thawed out for dinner. The kids ended up eating it all! I don't have exact measurements on the hash browns, but you can definitely eyeball it.

frozen shredded hash browns
2 c. cheese, shredded (cheddar, colby jack, whatever)
8 eggs
1 c. milk
1 t. dry mustard
1/2 t. salt
1 lb. ground sausage, browned (or cooked ham, cubed)

Spray a 13 x 9 dish. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread a generous layer of hash browns to cover the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of cheese over hash browns, and then add the sausage on top. Beat together eggs, milk, mustard, and salt; pour evenly over dish. Add remaining 1 cup of cheese on top. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Make sure that the eggs are set by inserting a knife in the middle.

This type of dish is the perfect Christmas morning meal! Just wake up and stick it in the oven. I've been trying to find the perfect recipe for one...so, I'll have to give this one a try.

You can assemble it the night before and just keep it in the fridge until you're ready to bake it.
