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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter and set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and dry mustard powder until well combined.

Step 4

Layer the grated potatoes evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish. Sprinkle the chopped onion evenly over the potatoes.

Step 5

Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the onion and potatoes layer.

Step 6

Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the sausage and potato layers, ensuring it soaks through evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with sides such as toast, fresh fruit, or a dollop of sour cream if desired. Enjoy!
