Gundy’s Breakfast Casserole

We have a lot of “food days” at work.  My boss always brings the same dish because everyone loves it and demands it.  🙂  It is a breakfast casserole made primarily with potatoes, sausage, onions and eggs.  This dish feeds a lot of people and keeps well for leftovers.  So, I made this last Saturday for our guests from Covenant Seminary.

I also like making this dish because you can play around with it.  Maybe try adding peppers, different spices, more or less eggs, etc.  You really can’t go wrong with this one.  Super simple, super filling!

**Update 11/17/08** A fellow food blogger who tried this recipe made me realize that I need to stress the above statement.  Instead of suggesting to play around with this recipe by adding other ingredients, I would definitely add some peppers, dry mustard, hmmm…maybe even Worcestershire sauce?  It’s up to you…but kick it up a notch and this recipe is a good breakfast.
