Instructions
Sausage: Cook the sausage over medium heat in a large skillet until no pink remains. Drain excess grease from the pan then drain on paper towels.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
Biscuit Crust: In a large bowl, use a pastry blender to cut cold butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the buttermilk mixing just until combined. Using floured hands, press the dough onto the bottom of the baking dish.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage crumbles over the biscuit crust.
Egg Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, milk, grated Parmesan cheese, ground mustard, garlic salt and black pepper.
To the egg mixture stir in the hash browns, 2 cup shredded colby jack cheese, and green onions.
Pour egg mixture evenly over the sausage. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes back clean.
Let stand 5-10 minutes then slice and serve.
Notes
Protein: I used chorizo sausage in this casserole, but you can use sage flavored pork sausage, classic mild pork breakfast sausage, sweet or spicy Italian sausage, chicken sausage or turkey sausage.
Ham: You could also replace the sausage with cubed ham or bacon.
Hash Browns: Southwestern flavored hash browns give this dish a little kick, but you can use plain hash browns, if that suits your taste more.
Cheese: As with any recipe, you can adapt the flavor of the shredded cheese to your taste. You can use pepper jack cheese, gruyere cheese, mild or medium cheddar cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, swiss cheese or any variety of shredded cheese that you enjoy.
Vegetables: You could add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, red bell pepper or green bell pepper to the sausage mixture.
Seasonings: You can use garlic powder and plain table salt in place of garlic salt.
