BREAKFAST CASSEROLE WITH SAUSAGE AND HASH BROWNS RECIPES

Steps:

• Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In 10-inch skillet, cook sausage and onion over medium-high heat 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in potatoes. Cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sausage is no longer pink and potatoes are lightly browned. Drain mixture on paper towels; spoon into baking dish.
• In medium bowl, stir eggs, milk, Bisquick mix, salt and pepper with fork or whisk until blended. Stir in cheese. Pour over sausage mixture and stir well. Cover with nonstick foil; refrigerate 8 to 12 hours.
• Heat oven to 350°F. Bake casserole covered 45 minutes. Uncover; bake 10 to 15 minutes longer or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serve with picante sauce and sour cream.

Steps:

• Grease a 9-by-13-inch (or other 3-quart) baking dish with butter or nonstick spray. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and break up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook the meat until no pink pieces remain, 6-8 minutes. Add the red bell pepper and white and light green parts of the scallions and cook 3 more minutes. Transfer to a plate to let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, mustard, hot sauce, salt, black pepper and about one-half of the remaining green parts of the scallions (save the rest to sprinkle on top of the casserole once baked.) Gently fold 1 ½ cups of cheese, the hash-browns and the sausage mixture into the egg mixture. Transfer all to the baking dish and smooth into an even layer.
• Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 50 min. Remove the foil and top with the remaining ½ cup of cheese. Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees and finish baking until the center of the casserole is set (not jiggly) and the top is slightly golden, 10-15 more minutes. Let rest 10 minutes, top with the remaining green parts of the scallions, then serve.
