Em's Breakfast Casserole

This isn't really Em's recipe, but we got it from Em and it's one of our favorites!

Here's what you'll need:
8-9 Hash brown patties
12 eggs
1 c. milk
1 t. salt
pepper to taste
2 c. cheese
1 lb. cooked meat (sausage, maple sausage, chopped bacon, diced ham etc)
Veggies (4 oz. green chilies, peppers, onions, mushrooms etc.)

Spray at 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Place a layer of hash browns on the bottom of your pan. Layer the meat, veggies, and cheese on top of the hash browns (save a little cheese for the top). Beat the eggs together with milk, salt and pepper and pour over the meat and hash browns. Top with extra leftover cheese. Cover with foil and bake at 375 for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until eggs are set.

This can be assembled the night before and baked in the morning.

Serves about 12-16.
