Cowboy Breakfast Casserole Recipe 445

Steps:

• Brown meat in large pot over medium heat.
• Add frozen hash browns and stir occasionally, until potatoes are cooked (they will not turn brown).
• Break eggs into bowl and stir with fork to mix well.
• Add eggs to meat and hash brown mixture and stir until eggs are done. (Continuous stirring will also help keep everything from sticking to the bottom of the pot).
• Sprinkle shredded cheese over the mixture if desired and stir in until it melts.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• Line a 9x13 greased pan with 8 slices of bread and top with half of the cheese.
• Sprinkle meat over cheese. You could also use any other type of meat you prefer. Turkey bacon cooked and crumbled is good too!
• Mix eggs, milk or sour cream or yogurt, ground mustard, and salt and pepper in a bowl until well blended and pour over cheese.
• Top with the rest of the cheese and 8 more slices of bread, pressing down so the egg bubbles up and moistens it a little.
• Spray top of bread with butter flavored cooking spray or spread with a little butter covering the whole surface of the bread.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight. Bake at 350 F for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the middle of casserole looks cooked. Knife inserted in middle will come out with melted cheese but not with 'wet' egg when done.
• Note: Like I said I made this recipe up for my meat and taters cowboy but you can add mushrooms, onions, green pepper etc. if desired. Just throw it into the meat layer.
