Ingredients
  

  • 1 Package 30 oz. Frozen Potatoes – Thawed and drained of excess water. (I used Potatoes O’Brien with the chopped peppers in it.)
  • 1 Pound Breakfast Sausage You can use patties, links, or ground sausage. I used patties because it’s what I had.
  • 8 Large Eggs
  • 1 1/2 Cups Milk I used nonfat.
  • 1 1/2 Cups Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper
  • Sprinkle of Paprika

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Meanwhile, brown your sausage in a skillet over medium heat. If using links or patties, cut them into small, bite-size pieces.
  • In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, sausage, 1 cup of cheese, salt, and pepper. Pour this into a 9 x 13 casserole dish prepare with nonstick spray.
  • In another bowl, beat eggs and milk together, then pour over the sausage and potatoes.
  • Top with the rest of the cheese, then give it a good sprinkle of paprika.
  • Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of the casserole comes out clean.
