Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 8 large eggs
- 1.5 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dry mustard powder
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 cups grated potatoes (hash browns or fresh grated)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the baking dish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart into small crumbles. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and dry mustard powder until well combined.
Layer the grated potatoes evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish. Sprinkle the chopped onion evenly over the potatoes.
Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the onion and potatoes layer.
Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the sausage and potato layers, ensuring it soaks through evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. You can test this by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with sides such as toast, fresh fruit, or a dollop of sour cream if desired. Enjoy!
