Johnsonville Italian Breakfast Casserole

A variation on my hash browns breakfast casserole  but this uses a variation on the cheese used and the addition of sausage.  Johnsonville offers many types of sausage and is my go-to sausage when I'm anywhere other than NY where I can get real deli Italian sausage!  Otherwise I think you'll love this recipe!

1 large package of frozen hash browns
7 eggs
1 cup of milk
1/4 package of mozzarella cheese
4 Johnsonville sausages (choose whichever variety you prefer)
Italian Seasoning
Sargento 4 cheese grated mixed package cheese and use 1/2 the bag
PAM
1 tsp Turmeric
1 tomato
1/2 onion chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
Stick of butter

In a medium saucepan melt a few patties of butter and brown the sausages.  In a bowl take the eggs and scramble them mixing thoroughly.  Add Turmeric, salt and pepper to taste and mix in the milk.  As the sausages are browning take them out one at a time and slice them up, returning them to the pan.  In the meantime prepare the casserole by spraying the casserole dish ( 9 x 12 x 2) with PAM and spread the frozen hash brown potatoes out in the pan. Take the rest of the butter and cutting into patties place them on top of the potatoes.  Once done pour the eggs and milk mixture thoroughly over the potatoes and butter as evenly distributed as you can.
As the sausages are cooked take them out and place them on top of the potatoes - spacing them out best you can.  When the sausages are out of the pan add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking them for a few minutes until they are soft.  Once cooked spread that mixture on top of the casserole as evenly spread out as possible.  On top of this add the mozzarella cheese and then the 4 cheese mixture.  Sprinkle italian seasoning on the entire mixture.  Cook at 350 for 60 minutes, turning pan around once during cooking to ensure even cooking.

 The Sargento 4 cheese mexican is the closest combination to the 4 cheese italian mix I can find.  I only use Sargento only because it is the closest thing to shaving the cheese yourself without any added anything.

Like I said earlier we use Johnsonville cheddar in this recipe but there are many varieties to choose from.
