Breakfast Hash Brown Casserole


Love Breakfast?  Me too.  I even like it for dinner.  This easy Breakfast dish can be made a variety of ways;  with meat, veggie style, or just cheese.  You can just about throw any meat or veggie in it and have a great breakfast or dinner.  Enjoy!

Breakfast Hash brown Casserole

4 medium potatoes-peeled and shredded  or 1 bag of frozen hash browns thawed
2 green onions - died
1/4 bell pepper - finely diced
3 baby carrots - finely diced
1/2 stick real butter + 2 Tbsp.
2 cups shredded mild cheddar cheese
5 large eggs beaten with 2 Tbsp. milk
Your choice of meat:  ground sausage, smoked sausage, bacon, etc.

*for a lighter version, use light butter and turkey sausage

Spray bottom of 9x9 baking dish with cooking spray.  Place hash browns in bottom of dish and press down slightly.  In a skillet, sauté 2 Tbsp. real butter, bell pepper, baby carrots and green onions for about 3 to 4 minutes.  Just enough to help them start softening.  Remove from skillet and drain on a paper towel.

In same skillet, sauté the meat of your choice:  I like breakfast sausage or bacon.  Drain on a paper towel and then crumble the meat up.  Pour the eggs/milk mixture over the veggies/hash brown making sure to get it all around the dish so that every spot has some egg on it.  The eggs will soak into the hash browns.

Top with 2 cups of shredded mild cheddar and bake at 350 degrees until cheese melts and starts to look like it is lightly brown; about 25 to 30 minutes.

Serve topped with sour cream or salsa for dinner. 

Layer the veggies on top of the hash browns and then add the meat.
