  • Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
1 pound frozen Shredded Potatoes, thawed4 oz Turkey Sausage, cooked & crumbled1 cup sliced mushrooms1/2 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese1 cup Egg Beaters Egg Substitute1/8 tsp Salt, or to taste1/8 tsp Black Pepper, or to taste1/8 cup red pepper, finely chopped2 Tbsp onions, finely chopped
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a casserole dish with cooking spray. Spread potatoes around bottom and press up the sides. Place in oven and cook for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix egg substitute, salt, and pepper together.

Remove potatoes from oven and press potatoes down firmly with a spoon so they are spread out and cover the bottom and sides of the pan. Sprinkle the sausage, red pepper, and cheese in the bottom of the pan. Pour the egg mixture over it.

Return pan to oven and cook until potatoes are crisp and golden and the egg mixture is set, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit about 5 minutes before serving.

You can further reduce the fat & calories by using low-fat cheddar cheese. If I did that my Dad wouldn't eat it.

     Taste just as good as the high fat version I used to make. From now on, this is my go to breakfast! I used the southwest seasoned hash browns because they already had peppers and onions in them. I omitted the salt and pepper because of the seasoned potatoes. I was impressed. - 3/7/08

     Instead of Potaoes I used shredded cabbage to cut some of the carbs. Definitly woll make again. - 2/12/09

     I substituted Gimme Lean Breakfast "Sausage"- a vegetarian alternative for the sausage. I also used lowfat (2%) cheddar cheese. I would make this again. I served it for dinner, but then again, I often like "breakfast for dinner." - 1/25/08

     This was very good. I also used turkey kielbasa instead, and I added some fresh ground red pepper flakes. I saute the veggies in a nonstick skillet and added garlic powder first. then I divided the cheddar into thirds and layered it in between the kielbasa mixture and egg. Delish! - 1/22/08

     Easy to make and easy to eat up! I used broccoli instead of peppers because my mom can't eat the peppers.Still came out great. - 12/22/08

     Substituted crumbled bacon instead of sausage and sprinkled little bit of garlic salt when served. Picky kids loved it and I actually got some veggies in them! - 3/31/13

     This was really interesting and filling. Unfortunately I used Southwest Hash Browns and they were RIDICULOUSLY spicy-- I am a fan of spicy food but they were too hot for me. Next time I'll use plain hash browns! - 10/26/09

     This was pretty good. I forgot to add the mushrooms but it was even good without them. I added green pepper to this and used light cheese as well. I also topped it after serving with a tbsp of ketchup for extra flavor. I would make this again, next time with the mushrooms. :) - 1/17/09

     This was a good dish...but not "wonderful". Maybe I'm just not used to this "healthy" cooking yet. It was good but I prefer the one I make with french bread...it's more egg'y than potato'y. - 5/28/08

     Very good-brought this to a staff meeting today and it was a hit. Substituted crumbled turkey bacon for the sausage, as I am not a sausage fan. - 2/22/08
  • KLEINMAN1

     This was awesome! I used Turkey Kielbasa and it was really yummy! A touch of Tobasco was a nice kick as well. - 1/1/08

     Tradition to have this for breakfast Christmas morning. Really enjoyed being able to have a healthy version. I couldn't really tell too much difference between this and the full fat version! - 12/25/07

     I skipped the salt, as the potatoes are salted. I added diced onion. - 10/31/20

     This is an easy breakfast when you have overnight guests. - 1/13/14

     Love that this is so easy to make. I used Teader Joe's frozen hash browns, chicken sausage and pre-cut diced onions and muchrooms for this recipe. I didn't have to chop or slice anything. I did use 2 cups of egg whites instead of egg substitue, still very tasty. - 9/21/13

     I made this for Christmas Morning and forgot to rate!! But it was amazing! It was gluten free for my G-Free family members and I made the turkey sausage from scratch also. The family raved! - 3/7/13
