This Low Point Breakfast Casserole is a perfect make-ahead recipe that is great for a weekend brunch or any Holiday party! It’s sure to become a crowd pleaser!

Ingredients:

• 3 cups shredded hash browns potatoes, frozen ( I use T.J. Farms hash browns)
• 3/4 cup light Monterey Jack cheese (I use Trader Joe’s Lite 3 cheese blend)
• 1 cup reduced fat turkey sausage, crumbled ( I use Jimmy Dean fully cooked turkey sausage crumbles)
• 1 (12 oz) can fat free evaporated milk
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced and diced ( optional )

I use TJ Farms frozen shredded hash browns. You can use any brand of frozen hash browns. Just keep in mind the point values can differ- just be sure to check the points because they may differ depending on the brand used.

I like the Jimmy Dean turkey sausage crumbles. They are 2 Freestyle point per 1/2 cup or 5 Freestyle points for 1 cup.

Add 1 can of fat free evaporated milk and 4 eggs

I use Trader Joe’s lite shredded 3 cheese blend. It’s low in points and melts well.

Pour egg mixture over potatoes in baking dish.

Bake uncovered for 40 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Spray a 2-quart baking dish with non stick cooking spray. Spread potatoes evenly at the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese, turkey sausage crumbles and green onions.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine milk, eggs, pepper and salt. Mix until all ingredients have been incorporated. Pour egg mixture over potatoes in baking dish.
4. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

Notes:

1. You can cover the casserole and refrigerate it or freeze it.
2. Bake it for 50-60 minutes if it’s been in the refrigerator.
3. Garnish with salsa or fresh tomatoes

Servings: Makes 6 servings /5 Freestyle Smart Points per serving
