Paula Deen Sausage Breakfast Casserole Recipes

CHEESE AND SAUSAGE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cube the bread and place it in a lightly greased 8-by-11-by-2 inch casserole.
• Fry the sausage until it is almost browned completely and drain on some paper towels. Mix the half-and-half, dry mustard, salt, pepper, hot sauce and eggs together. Layer the sausage over the bread and top with a generous layer of potatoes. If you are using mushrooms, layer them in before the potatoes. Sprinkle the cheeses on the top. Pour the beaten egg mixture over the casserole. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
• Bake the casserole until it is set and does not jiggle in the middle, 30 minutes.

HASH BROWN BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
• Spray a deep 13 by 9-inch casserole dish with vegetable oil cooking spray.
• Melt the butter in a large frying pan. Add the onion and sauté over medium-low heat until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the hash browns and break apart. Sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
• In a second frying pan, saute the sausage, breaking apart large clumps. When the sausage is cooked through, remove it from pan.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, eggs, salt, pepper, nutmeg and mustard, briskly to blend.
• To assemble, spread the onions and hash browns evenly at the bottom of the greased dish. Place the bread cubes evenly on top of hash browns. With a slotted spoon distribute sausage as the third layer. Pour the milk and egg mixture over these layers. Add Parmesan as the next layer, while then adding the cheddar.
• *Cook's Note: Save a few tablespoons of Cheddar for the last 10 minutes of baking, where you can add a fresh topping of melted Cheddar.
• Bake the casserole, uncovered for 45 to 50 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
