Fire Up Your Grill for Breakfast- Breakfast Casserole

Breakfast Casserole

1 lb breakfast sausage (I use Jimmy Dean- use your favorite, or homemade pork or even deer sausage)
9 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup melted butter (1/2 stick)
24 oz frozen hash browns (30 oz package minus about 1/5 package. 30 oz is too much), thawed
12 oz shredded cheddar cheese
salt, pepper

Preheat your grill to 350°.
Cook and break up sausage just until most of it is no longer pink (don't brown - leave some slightly pink.) You can do this in your kitchen or on your grill top with a cast iron skillet

Then...
Spread sausage on bottom of greased 9"x13" pan.
Add milk and melted butter to beaten eggs and pour over sausage.
Mix thawed hash browns with shredded cheese and some salt and pepper. Spread over casserole.
Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until top begins to brown.

Variations:
Ham and Swiss: Use ham chunks instead of sausage and swiss cheese instead of cheddar.
Tex Mex: Use Mexican cheese (or Monterey Jack) - can also add jalapeños to the egg mixture for more heat.
