You know a day is going to be good when it starts with a home-cooked breakfast.



I love breakfast food, but it is always such a pain to get up early and make it first thing. Growing up, my Mom would make breakfast at dinner time every once in awhile and we all enjoyed it. I found a recipe for a breakfast casserole at myrecipes.com that I could make the night before and just wake up and pop it in the oven for an hour. I tried this for the first time and I have been snacking on it all day! I think it would be a great idea to make this when you know you have guests coming into town and won't have time to prepare a meal in the morning.


Ingredients:

1 lb ground pork sausage

1/4 chopped onion

2 1/2 cups frozen hash browns (you can also use cubed potatoes if you want to take the time to boil them!)

5 large eggs

2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 3/4 cups whole milk

1 cup all-purpose baking mix

2 tsp salt

2 tsp pepper


Cook sausage and onion in a skillet over medium heat. Add in hash browns, stirring occasionally. Cook until sausage is no longer pink and hash browns are starting to brown. Drain onto papertowels and spread over a greased 13x9 baking dish. Set aside. Stir together eggs, chees, milk, baking mix, salt and pepper until well blended. Pour mixture over sausage and hash browns. Cover and place in refrigerator over night. Bake, still covered for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Uncover and cook for an additional 20 minutes until the top is slightly browned and you can insert a toothpick in the center and it comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. I hope you enjoy this as much as I have!
