How to make cheesy hashbrown casserole

Before you start to assemble the ingredients, preheat your oven to 375 degrees, if you plan to make the casserole right away.

 You will start the casserole with a layer of hash browns.

Cover the hash browns with half of the crumbled sausage. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on top.

In a large bowl, stir the eggs and milk and pour the entire mixture evenly over the sausage, cheese and hash browns. Then, add the remainder of the crumbled sausage to the top of the eggs.

Cover with the remainder of the cheese. Add some salt and pepper. I found that the cheese and sausage provided the saltiness for this dish, so I just used a few sprinkles of salt.

At this point you can cover the casserole and refrigerate it overnight, if you plan to eat it in the morning. If you are cooking it right away or refrigerating overnight, when it is ready to bake, pop it in the oven for 40 minutes. Ours was cooked at the 37 minute mark, but oven cook times vary. When it is done, the top will be slightly browned and the inside will feel firm when you poke it with a fork.

This cheesy hash brown casserole will make 8 nice sized servings. So, who's ready for breakfast?
