Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound(s) breakfast sausage, i like jimmy dean original
1 bag(s) hash brown potatoes, frozen ( doesnt matter if they are cubed or shredded)
8 large eggs
1 cup(s) milk
1 cup(s) shredded cheddar cheese
2 cup(s) fat free half and half
2 tablespoon(s) flour
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a glass 9x13 pan with nonstick coating. Spread out in the pan the hashbrown potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Beat eggs and milk together and pour over the potatoes. Sprinkle the cheese on top.
In a skillet ( I love my cast iron one for this) brown the sausage until done to your liking, personally I like it when the edges are crispy. Sprinkle the flour on the sausage and stir. Cook a couple minutes longer until flour is well blended. Slowly stir in the half and half until rich and thick and bubbly. Add pepper to taste.
Pour sausage gravy over egg potatoes mixture. Do not stir! Bake for 1 hour or until eggs are set.
