HEARTY BREAKFAST CASSEROLE
I am not sure where this recipe originally came from. It is the best breakfast casserole I have ever tried. I usually cook the sausage the night before and mix it with the cheeses and other ingredients so I have less work that morning. Be sure to put the hash browns in the frig the night before, as well, so they will be thawed.

HEARTY BREAKFAST CASSEROLE
This is my very favorite breakfast casserole. It has a kick to it with the Rotel tomatoes and lots of cheese topped with eggs and more cheese. What could be better? It truly is a protein packed, hearty breakfast with lots of flavor! It's worth getting up for!

Steps:
- 1. In 12" skillet, cook sausage until no longer pink. When done, lift with spatula and drain on paper towels, saving fat in skillet.
- 2. Next, add the hasbrowns with onions and peppers to skillet and cook until slightly browned.
- 3. Add the sausage back to skillet with hashbrowns. Mix well.
- 4. In a 3 qt. baking dish that has been sprayed with Pam, add the mixture of meat and potatoes. Level well.
- 5. In a large microwave proof bowl, add Velveeta cheese cubes and Rotel tomatoes together and microwave several minutes until melted. Stir together until smooth and cheese is all melted.
- 6. Pour cheese sauce over the potato mixture. Set aside.
- 7. Beat eggs with a little milk and the salt and pepper. Pour over the cheese sauce covered potato mixture.
- 8. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven until puffy and set, about 45 min.
- 9. Remove foil and continue baking until eggs are no longer wet.
- 10. Top with shredded cheddar and return to oven just long enough for cheese to melt.
- 11. Let cool for about 10-12 min. Cool on rack. Cut into squares and serve.
- 12. Refrigerate leftovers. This also freezes well. I wrap individual servings in Saran Wrap and freeze. When needed, I just microwave in the Saran Wrap and serve.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Choose the Right Bread: The type of bread you use for your casserole is important. A sturdy bread, such as French bread or sourdough, will hold up well in the casserole and won't get soggy.
- Don't Overcrowd the Casserole Dish: When layering the ingredients in your casserole dish, don't overcrowd it. This will prevent the casserole from cooking evenly.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients in your casserole. This will give your casserole the best flavor.
- Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to season your casserole to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices until the casserole tastes just the way you like it.
