Egg Potato Sausage Breakfast Casserole
Yield: 6-9 servings
Cook Time: 40-50 minutes
Tips: May be made a day in advance and refrigerated overnight until ready to bake the following morning. Two cups of cubed bread (preferably sourdough) may be used instead of hashbrowns, simply by mixing bread cubes with all the other ingredients and pouring into casserole dish. Crumbled bacon or chopped ham may be used instead of sausage, if desired.
Suggestion: Delicious served for breakfast, brunch or dinner, with Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits or Whole Wheat Biscuits and fresh fruit.
