Hashbrown, Sausage, and Bacon Frittata

This recipe comes compliments of my mom who saw it in her Schwan's recipe mailer. Naturally, the original recipe calls for mostly Schwan products, however, it is simple to adapt to products you regularly find in your neighborhood grocery store. This dish is absolutely delicious and reheats well.

Ingredients

• 1/2 pkg (24 oz) shredded hashbrowns, thawed
• 1/2 c butter, melted
• 8 oz (2 c) hot pepper cheese, shredded
• 8 oz (2 c) cheddar cheese, shredded
• 6 fully cooked sausage links, thawed & diced
• 1 1/2 c fully cooked bacon slices, diced
• 1 c milk
• 9 eggs
• salt & pepper

NOTES

* Simply Hashbrowns are a great product that you find in the refrigerated section of your grocery store, generally near the bacon and sausage. These could easily be used in place of frozen hashbrowns to save the thawing step.

* Egg substitute, like Egg Beaters, also work well in this recipe. As does low-fat milk.

Directions

• Preheat oven to 425F.
• Place hashbrowns in lightly greased 9x11 pan and press down evenly to form crust.
• Drizzle butter evenly over hashbrowns and back 25 min.
• Place cheese, sausage, and bacon over hashbrown crust.
• Beat milk and eggs together and pour over cheese and meat.
• Reduce heat to 350F and bake 30 min.
