Servings: 6 to 8 servings
Prep Time: 5 min
Cook Time: 1 hour 10 min
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients Add to grocery list

3 tablespoon butter
1   small yellow onion, chopped
4 cup frozen shredded hash browns
1 lb bulk sausage, mild, hot, or sage
2 1/4 cup whole milk
8   large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
2 tablespoon dijon mustard
8 cup cubed french or italian bread, crusts removed
2 cup (1/2 pound) grated Cheddar
2 cup (1/2 pound) freshly grated Parmesan

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 

Spray a deep 13 by 9-inch casserole dish with vegetable oil cooking spray. 

Melt the butter in a large frying pan. Add the onion and saute over medium-low heat until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the hash browns and break apart. Saute until soft, about 5 minutes. 

In a second frying pan, saute the sausage, breaking apart large clumps. When the sausage is cooked through, remove it from pan. 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, eggs, salt, pepper, nutmeg and mustard, briskly to blend. 

To assemble, spread the onions and hash browns evenly at the bottom of the greased dish. Place the bread cubes evenly on top of hash browns. With a slotted spoon distribute sausage as the third layer. Pour the milk and egg mixture over these layers. Add Parmesan as the next layer, while then adding the Cheddar. 

*Cook’s Note: Save a few tablespoons of Cheddar for the last 10 minutes of baking, where you can add a fresh topping of melted Cheddar. 

Bake the casserole, uncovered for 45 to 50 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.

There is absolutely NOTHING bland about this recipe. Its delicious! I baked it for only 45 minutes, and it was almost too crispy, so keep an eye on it. Also it is a little salty, but once again DELICIOUS

With all the flavors in this, it's the blandest dish I could imagine. It takes copious ammounts of hot sauce to resurect it. Honestly, it's almost as if Paula said, "Watch, I bet they'll eat anything with my name on it." Sorry, if it's gonna be this artey clogging, it better taste great.
