I love breakfast casseroles. So I'm always looking for variations. This has a great flavor and it's different from the traditional casseroles.

Ingredients

1 lb. Bulk Italian sausage

4 cups Frozen hash-brown potatoes, thawed

4 oz. (1 cup) shredded Cheddar cheese

1 cup Green Giant® Frozen Cut Leaf Spinach, thawed, drained

1/4 cup Sliced marinated sun-dried tomatoes

4 oz. (1 cup) shredded mozzarella cheese

4 Eggs

3/4 cup Milk

1/4 teaspoon Salt

1/8 teaspoon Pepper

2 tablespoons Shredded fresh Parmesan cheese

Preparation

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 8-inch square (2-quart) baking dish. In large nonstick skillet, cook sausage over medium-high heat until browned, stirring occasionally. Drain.

2. In medium bowl, combine potatoes and Cheddar cheese. In greased baking dish, layer half of the potato mixture, all of the sausage mixture, spinach and tomatoes, remaining potato mixture, and all of the mozzarella cheese.

3. In medium bowl, beat eggs slightly. Add milk, salt and pepper; beat well. Pour evenly over potato mixture. Cover with foil.

4. Bake at 350°F. for 1 hour. Uncover; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand about 5 minutes before serving; cut into squares.

Cook's Notes

Omit the Italian sausage for a vegetarian version.
