Notes
NOTE: It is best to use non-stick skillets for this recipe.
NOTE: I use about 2 tbsp. butter to sauté the hash browns and another tablespoon to fry the eggs.
NOTE: the sausage is pre-cooked for this recipe. Plan accordingly. I use a hamburger chopper to cut the meat down in very tiny pieces while frying.
NOTE: To prepare gravy mix blend: Bring 1 ½ cups water to a rolling boil. Combine gravy mix with ½ cup cold water. Add to boiling water and whisk until mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and use in recipe as directed. You will not use all of the gravy for this recipe).
NOTE: You may find it easier to pre-cook the sausage, sausage gravy and potatoes, before starting this recipe.
NOTE: If you want to reduce calories, you can use 1 cup of the hash browns, 1/4 cup each of the cheeses and 1/3 cup of the sausage.
