We used 1 tsp.mustard, 1 pound sausage, and slightly less hashbrowns in our version and this was delish! thank you for sharing! Made for Pick A Chef '08. -
Oh my, this is a very nice casserole. I can't believe no one has reviewed it yet! I cheated and used part ham and part lean ground turkey instead of the sausage (that's what was in the fridge and needed to be used), but using breakfast sausage would only make this better. I did replace 4 of the eggs with an equivalent amount of egg whites (from a carton). I also used homemade all whole wheat bread instead of white bread (recipe #181106). And I used half cheddar and half swiss because the cheddar in my fridge was an extremely aged cheddar and is too powerful a flavor all by itself. Oh, and I don't eat onion, so left that out. Thanks for sharing, this is a keeper.

I am a mother of 2 beautiful children and married 14 years to there always HUNGRY father. I love cooking for them, as they all love to eat, but are thin as rails (wish I had their metabolism). I have been baking and cooking since I was a small child. My Grandmother has so many treasured recipes in her collection, several of which I know by heart. I only hope my children and grandchildren enjoy my recipes as much as I have hers.
