green onions

🥗Healthier: chives

💰Cheaper: regular onions

Preheat the oven to 325°F.

In a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat, cook 16 oz of bulk breakfast sausage until browned and crumbled, about 10 minutes.

Drain off excess grease and stir in one chopped green onion.

Spread a 16 oz package of fresh hash brown potatoes on top of the sausage.

Top with 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese.

In a medium bowl, add 6 large lightly beaten eggs and whisk in 1 cup of whole milk and 1 package of country gravy mix until smooth.

Pour the egg mixture over the casserole and season with paprika to taste.

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 1 hour.

Remove the casserole and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes to firm up.
