Company'S Coming Breakfast Casserole - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb sausage (I use Jimmy Dean)
24 ounces frozen hash browns, with onion and peppers
6 eggs
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 tsp.black pepper
1 dash hot sauce (optional)
8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded (more for the topping if desired)

Preparation

Set oven to 350\u00b0F.
Brown the sausage, drain. I like to put it in a food processor and hit pulse a few times, I don't like the larger pieces but don't go so far as to make a paste!
Whisk the eggs and seasonings in a bowl,.
add milk.
Spray a 9x13\" pan with cooking spray.
Layer the ingredients as follows; all the sausage, then a layer of cheese, then half the bag of hash browns, then the cheese and the rest of the hash browns. Pour the egg/milk/ seasonings mixture over all.
Cover with foil bake for one hour, check for doneness, mine usually take a bit longer, but everyone's oven is different.
When done top with more shredded cheese and let rest for 10 minutes.
Serve with fruit salad for a delightful brunch!
