  • Cooking spray
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup half-and-half (fat-free works great) or milk
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • One 9.6 oz. package Jimmy Dean Original Pork Sausage Crumbles or 2 1/2 cups diced cooked ham
  • One 30 oz. bag frozen shredded hash brown, thawed overnight in the refrigerator
  • One 4 oz. can diced green chilies, drained
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salsa, for serving (optional)
  • Sour cream, for serving (optional)
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a 9″ x 13″ baking pan with cooking spray.
  2. Crack the eggs into a blender, then add the half-and-half, salt, pepper, garlic powder, flour and baking powder and give it a good medium speed blending until smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the sausage crumbles, thawed hash browns and green chilies.  Add 2 cups of the cheddar, then pour in the egg mixture.  Gently stir with a rubber spatula until combined.
  4. Pour that mixture into the prepared pan and rock it back and forth on the counter to evenly distribute any liquid on the bottom.  Sprinkle on the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar.
  5. Bake, uncovered, until the eggs are set and a knife stuck in the center comes out clean, about one hour.
  6. Let the casserole rest for at least five minutes, then slice into squares and spatula it up.  The casserole is great served with your favorite salsa, sour cream or whatever you like to add to your eggs to give them a little zing!  And, leftovers are great the next day.
