Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole

By Pebbles-2

This is a Christmas Eve morning tradition at our home.

Ingredients

• 1 pound hot pork sausage
• 1 Tbsp dried minced onion flakes
• 2 1/2 cups frozen cubed hash browns
• 5 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
• 1 3/4 cups milk
• 1 cup Bisquick
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• Toppings: picante sauce or green hot sauce, sour cream

Preparation

Step 1

Cook sausage and onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat 5 minutes or until meat crumbles. Stir in hash browns, and cook 5 to 7 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink and potatoes are lightly browned. Drain mixture on paper towels; spoon into a greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.

Stir together eggs, cheese, and next 4 ingredients; pour evenly over sausage mixture, stirring well. Cover and chill 8 hours.

Bake, covered with nonstick foil, at 350° for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 to 15 more minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven, and let stand 5 minutes. Serve with desired toppings.
