Hi all. I've found some wonderful recipes here and wanted to say Thanks! But now I need some help. I'm in charge of Christmas morning breakfast at my sister's house this year. I want to do all prep work the day before. I found one recipe that I want to do, but need something else to go with it. I'd like to find a cheesy hash brown casserole type recipe to go along with the following sausage & egg casserole:
1 lb ground pork sausage
6 slices white bread, toasted and cut into cubes
1/2 lb shredded mild Cheddar cheese
1 tsp mustard powder
1/2 tsp salt
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups milk
1. Crumble sausage into a medium skillet. Cook over medium heat until evenly brown; drain.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together cooked sausage, toasted bread, Cheddar cheese, mustard powder, salt, eggs and milk. Pour into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover, and chill in the refrigerator 8 hours, or overnight.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4. Cover, and bake 45 to 60 minutes. Uncover, and reduce temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until set.
*I do plan on making some changes (I've always had a hard time following a recipe to a T, I always have to add something :-) I want to use a spicy sausage, and sour dough bread instead of plain white. I'll probably up the amount of eggs and reduce the amount of milk. Will definitely add onion and either some spinach or tomato. Maybe even add some ricotta cheese, who knows?*
Does anyone have any suggests for a hash brown casserole to go along with this? I'd like to use frozen hash browns to save on time, and would like to assemble it the day before. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

This is NOT the answer to your question, but I can't help offering the remark -- How about fresh fruit instead of more cheese and fat? A pretty fruit selection would be a wonderful complement to the breakfast casserole -- and could easily be made a day, maybe two, ahead.

I want to thank all of you for the wonderful suggestions and recipes. I ended up using Damsel's since it was the only one I already had everything for in stock. It was a big hit, and disappeared so fast! My sister-in-law kept saying "you have to make this again" each time she went back for more. We all had grapefruit halves while waiting for the casseroles to come out of the over (a tradition in my brother-in-law's family), fresh melon afterwards and finally champange and orange juice while opening presents. Yum!
I hope all of you are having a wonderful holiday!
