Description

Ingredients

• 1 pound of sausage (mild, all-natural, hot and spicy or chorizo would work)
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 20-oz bad of frozen potato cubes, thawed
• 5 eggs
• ½ cup milk
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives
• *optional: ⅓ cup sour cream

Directions

• Pre-heat your oven to 375° degrees.
• Thaw your frozen potato cubes (we used the defrost function on our microwave) and add them to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
• In a large skillet add your butter, onion, garlic and cook over medium heat until soft, about 3-5 minutes. Add to your bowl of potatoes.
• Add your sausage to the hot skillet and cook (crumble it as you go) until its browned. Drain any grease and then add sausage to your bowl of potatoes.
• In a small mixing bowl combine your salt, black pepper, eggs, and milk. Stir together. Pour your egg mixture into your bowl of potatoes. Add your chives and sour cream and stir well.
• Top your casserole with the remaining ½ cup of cheese and a few additional chives.
• Place in a 9 x 13 casserole dish and bake for about 20 minutes with the top covered with foil. Revmove the foil and continue to bake for about 15-20 more minutes and then check to see if your eggs are set in the middle of the casserole. Depending on the depth of your casserole dish you may need to cook it a bit longer (especially if your potatoes are frozen, it will take well over 60 minutes to cook).
