Company'S Coming Breakfast Casserole

• 1 lb sausage (I use Jimmy Dean)
• 24 ounces frozen hash browns, with onion and peppers
• 6 eggs
• 2 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 tsp.black pepper
• 1 dash hot sauce (optional)
• 8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded (more for the topping if desired)

1. Set oven to 350u0b0F.
2. Brown the sausage, drain. I like to put it in a food processor and hit pulse a few times, I don't like the larger pieces but don't go so far as to make a paste!
3. Whisk the eggs and seasonings in a bowl,.
4. add milk.
5. Spray a 9x13" pan with cooking spray.
6. Layer the ingredients as follows; all the sausage, then a layer of cheese, then half the bag of hash browns, then the cheese and the rest of the hash browns. Pour the egg/milk/ seasonings mixture over all.
7. Cover with foil bake for one hour, check for doneness, mine usually take a bit longer, but everyone's oven is different.
8. When done top with more shredded cheese and let rest for 10 minutes.
9. Serve with fruit salad for a delightful brunch!
