Ingredients

  • 4 cups of plain frozen hash brown (shredded) potatoes

  • 4 ounces reduced-fat sausage, sliced

  • 1/2 onion, diced

  • 1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced

  • 1 cup reduced-fat Mexican-style cheese, shredded

  • 12 servings egg substitute

  • 1 cup fat-free milk

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced

  • 2 ounces gluten-free processed cheese product, diced

Directions

  • Spray the inside of the crock pot with cooking spray. Add the whole package of hash browns to crock pot. Spread potatoes with your fingers, breaking up any clumps.

  • In a mixing bowl, mix the egg beaters with the milk, salt, pepper, cheeses, sausage, and diced vegetables. Pour mixture on top of the hash browns.

  • Cover, and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.

  • The casserole is done when the eggs are fully cooked and the edges start to brown a bit. If you want the cheese to brown and get a bit crispy on the sides, cook longer.
