Savory Breakfast Casserole

I love breakfast casseroles but most of the recipes I see call for pre-packaged hashbrowns which I never have on hand. I am also WAY to lazy to shred real potatoes by hand. I came across this recipe and it called for chunks of real potato instead and I thought I would give it a try. I was really impressed with the flavor and it was very easy to make. It makes a huge pan full so it is great for company or if you want leftovers for quick weekday breakfasts.

Ingredients

5 baking potatoes (medium)
1 pound ground pork sausage
1/2 onion, chopped

1 1/2 cup shredded cheese
12 eggs, lightly beaten
salt and pepper to taste

parsley and/or chives (optional) for serving

Directions:

1. Wash potatoes and prick with fork. Microwave 4 to 5 minutes until slightly tender but still firm. Chop into small chunks (you can leave skin on)

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 13 x 9 ich baking dish.

3. Cook sausage in a medium frying pan over medium heat until evenly browned. Remove from pan, leaving some of the dripping behind. Put the sausage into the prepared baking dish.

4. Put potatoes and onion into frying pan and cook until potatoes are browned and onion is tender, about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove and put in the baking dish on top of the sausage.

5. Sprinkle the cheese over the sausage, potato, onion mix.

6. In a large bowl, beat eggs lightly with fork. Pour over the mixture in the baking dish.

7. Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until eggs are set.

8. Sprinkle with chives and/or parsley to serve.

Diane,
This would be great to make when I have guests stay over. It is hard to get up in the mornings and cook for a crowd.

Thanks!! Even though I can’t eat it.. I have a lot of friends and family who can.

Oh, that looks delicious! I’ll be pinning and stumbling this too. I rarely cook for breakfast, but it looks like it would make quite a lot of leftovers so it would be worth the effort.

This sounds so delicious. Great idea when you have company for breakfast!

I don’t do a lot of “big” dishes for breakfast but this one looks like something our family would like. Thanks for sharing.

This looks yummy and looks good for leftovers too if there’s any left and simple to make just need a few things for the store and this looks like tomorrows breakfast.

Holy Moly that looks good. I bookmarked because I know my kids would LOVE THIS!
