French Fry Breakfast Casserole

This is to use up the few last remaining pieces from our basket for No Buy January! Remember I said at the end of the month if I had anything left in my freezer I put it in a basket and had to use it by the end of next week. So, the zesty curly French fries and breakfast sausages were perfect to use in this. No, potatoes or frozen hash browns? I had french fries!

Verdict:

This was great. It mixed up and was ready in about 30 minutes. If you use the rolled raw sausage it will take a bit longer because you will need to cook it and cut it before adding it to the casserole. But, the heat and serve worked fine for us. My daughter only asked that next time I make it I try it with bacon. Why of course I will!

Serve this with a nice fruit and berry salad for breakfast or dinner and you will have a perfectly simple meal!

  • Servings: ”8-10″
  • Difficulty: ”easy”

Ingredients:

  • 1 (28 oz) bag french fries (I used zesty for the added flavor!)
  • 6 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 lb. heat and serve breakfast sausages
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon dried mustard
  • salt and black pepper

Directions:

  1. Bake French fries according to package directions for about 10-12 minutes. I did this to give them a bit more texture than a frozen fry would have in the casserole. You do NOT need to do this step unless you want to. Once fries are done lower heat to
  2. Microwave heat and serve breakfast sausages for about 10-15 seconds, just long enough so that you can easily cut them into pieces.
  3. Beat eggs, milk, dried mustard, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl.
  4. Place french fries in the bottom of a 13 x 9 casserole dish that has been sprayed with non-stick spray.
  5. Sprinkle the slices of sausage over the top of the french fries. Pour the egg mixture over the fries and sausages. Finally, sprinkle the top with the shredded cheese.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes or until top is browning and center of eggs has set.
  7. Remove pan from oven and allow to set for 3-5 minutes before serving.

          I am wanting to make this but I don’t see what to set the temperature to after baking the fries. It says to lower it to but then cuts off and doesn’t say what temp. Any suggestions?

            First you bake the fries according to the directions from the package. After the fries are done then you lower the temperature so that you can heat the sausages. (It looks like the recipe was cut off but it goes directly into the 2nd step.
