5-LAYER BREAKFAST BAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

5-Layer Breakfast Bake Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: hash brown, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, egg, salt, black pepper, butter, breakfast sausage, flour, whole milk, salt, pepper, flour, baking powder, baking soda, buttermilk, butter, salt

Provided by Joey Firoben

Categories Breakfast

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

3 cups hash brown
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3 cups egg, scrambled
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 lb breakfast sausage
2 tablespoons flour
4 cups whole milk, at room temperature
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
2 cups flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk, cold
½ cup butter, melted, plus 2 tablespoons for brushing
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

For the gravy, heat the butter in a large sauce pan. Break up the sausage in the pan and let it brown for a few minutes.
Add in the flour and toss the sausage to toast for 1 minute.
Pour in the milk and stir constantly until the mixture has thickened, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Grease a 9" x13" (23cmx33cm) roasting pan. Spread the hash browns evenly along the bottom of the pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the cheddar cheese in an even layer and top with scrambled eggs.
Pour the gravy on top of the eggs in the roasting pan.
For the biscuit dough, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl.
Pour the melted butter into the cold buttermilk and stir gently with a spoon until the butter hardens and forms lumps. Pour the milk mixture into the flour and mix until well-combined.
Pre-heat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Transfer the dough to a floured sheet of cling wrap and generously dust the dough with flour. Using a floured rolling pin, roll the dough into a rectangle that matches the size of your roasting pan.
Roll the dough onto the rolling pin and transfer to the roasting pan, then brush with melted butter.
Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Enjoy!

Tips:

Prep all ingredients beforehand. This will make the cooking process much smoother and faster.
Cook the meat thoroughly. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C), while chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Use a large skillet or Dutch oven. This will ensure that there is enough room for all of the ingredients.
Cook the layers in the correct order. The first layer should be the meat, followed by the vegetables, the pasta, the sauce, and the cheese.
Don't overcook the pasta. The pasta should be cooked according to the package directions.
Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the casserole to set.

Conclusion:

Five-layer dinners are a delicious and easy way to feed a crowd. They are also a great way to use up leftover ingredients. With a little planning, you can create a five-layer dinner that everyone will enjoy.
