Notes
If making ahead of time have the sausage, veggies, and hash browns prepped and cooked. Pour them into the casserole with the cheese and cover. Then before going in the oven pour on the egg/milk mixture and bake.
Can also be frozen, thaw in refrigerator and then bake to warm through, 350F for 20-25 min.
Lasts up to three days in the fridge once baked.
