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 ( 9 x 13)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 into a  9 x 13 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
