Looking for a Christmas morning brunch recipe? Here are two easy choices.

Breakfast Casserole

1 lb. Sausage, cooked
6-7 eggs
2 cups milk
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. dry mustard
2 cups shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or sharp cheddar)
5-6 slices of bread (any kind—use up odds and ends)

Cube or tear the bread into pieces and layer it in the bottom of a 9 x 13 casserole dish. Brown sausage; beat eggs and milk, then add spices and cheese. Mix all together. Pour into casserole and bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes.

Note: You can make the casserole the night before and refrigerate it, then bake it fresh in the morning.


Hash Brown Casserole

1 2-lb. Bag frozen hash browns
16 oz. Sour cream
1 stick butter or margarine, melted
¼ cup chopped onion or a few shakes of dried onion
2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese (or anything similar)
1 can cream of chicken soup
salt to taste

Combine ingredients and mix well, adding the potatoes a little at a time to the liquid mixture. Pour into a 9 x 13 casserole dish. If desired, top with 3 cups crushed Corn Flakes mixed with 1 stick melted margarine or butter (topping is optional). Bake at 350 degrees for about one hour. Great reheated, so bake ahead as needed.
