I stole this recipe for Hash Brown Egg Casserole from bellyfull.net. This easy to make breakfast casserole is assembled the night before serving. First hash brown patties are placed in the bottom of a casserole dish. Then shredded cheese, cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage and green onions are sprinkled on top. Next eggs are mixed with milk, salt, ground mustard and garlic powder. The pan is covered in foil and refrigerated overnight, then baked in the morning. Using frozen hash brown patties helps make this casserole easy to prep.

Did you know? Hash Browns are finely chopped or shredded, cooked potatoes that are fried until well browned. The mixture is usually pressed down into a flat cake in the pan and browned on one side, then turned and browned on the other.¹ (see more trivia in the Trivia tab)

The ingredients for this recipe are: 8 precooked frozen hash brown patties, 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1 ½ cups diced leftover ham (or breakfast sausage), 2 scallions, 9 large eggs, 1 cup whole milk, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp dry ground mustard and ¼ tsp garlic powder

Cook the breakfast sausage, set aside.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9×13 baking dish. Arrange frozen hash brown patties in the dish, in a single layer.

Sprinkle the cooked sausage on top of the hash brown patties.

Then sprinkle with cheeses and diced scallions evenly over the top.

Then in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, mustard and garlic powder.

Next pour evenly over the mixture in the pan. Top with additional green onions.

Cover and refrigerate overnight. Then bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 20 minutes or until the edges are golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes, then cut into portions and serve. Top with salsa if desired.
