Egg-Sausage (Breakfast) Casserole

My MIL got this from a magazine several years ago. Great for feeding company on Christmas morning! And it doubles easily.

INGREDIENTS:
1 lb mild ground sausage
1 lb hot ground sausage
1 30-oz bag of frozen shredded hash browns
1 1/2 tsp salt, divided
1/2 tsp pepper
1 c shredded cheddar cheese (or more!)
6 large eggs
2 c milk (at least 2% or higher - anything less will make it too runny)

DIRECTIONS:
Cook/brown sausage until it crumbles. Drain fat.

Prepare hash browns according to package directions. Add 1/2 tsp of salt and the pepper.

Stir together hash browns, cheese, and sausage.

(NOTE: The above steps could be done the night before to save time in the morning.)

Pour sausage mixture into greased 9x13 pan.

Whip milk, eggs, and 1 tsp salt together. Pour over sausage mixture in pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.

Then watch as your guests or family scarfs it up!

(And I can't resist saying, that subject-verb agreement there at the end IS correct....)
