Description
This delicious breakfast casserole is made with eggs, cheese, green chilis, hash-browns, onions and sausage. It can be made the night before and refrigerated until you’re ready to bake it. Perfect for a brunch or weekend breakfast. We enjoyed it for an easy breakfast on Christmas morning along with the overnight cinnamon rolls. Yum!!! Great leftover and reheated.

Butter or Cooking Spray
2 pounds breakfast sausage
2 pounds frozen hash-brown potatoes
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 (7oz can) diced green chili peppers
1/2 cup chopped onion

Step 5
Whisk milk, eggs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder together in bowl. Pour over hash-brown mixture.
