Breakfast Bake

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound pork sausage
  • 1/2 pound bacon
  • 1/4 cup onion
  • 1 cup hash browns
  • 3 whole eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Cut bacon into small pieces and brown with the pork sausage and onion.
  2. Layer 1/2 the hash browns, meat mixture, and cheese, in a 9×4 bread pan (they work great for small sized casseroles) and then the second layer of hash browns and meat mixture. (You may also use a 9×9 pan but you will only have one layer of each then and hold back the cheese layer.)
  3. Mix eggs, milk, and spices and pour over the top of the rest. These is where you can refrigerate if you wish. (Since I am not sure how well egg freezes, you may want to freeze after the prior step and add the egg mixture when thawing or just before baking.).
  4. Bake at 400F for 20 minutes, add the remaining cheese and bake an additional 10 minutes. It may also be baked at 350F for 30 minutes add the cheese and back an additional 15 minutes. A knife inserted should come out clean.
