Melba's Egg and Cheese Casserole








Melba is my Mom's cousin, but they're more like sisters.  They've always been super close and have the best of times when together.  Melba is a nickname, her real name is Helena.  Back when my sisters, Sherri and Patti were in high school they had a friend over and he thought they said her name was Melba.  For some funny reason she has been Melba ever since.  =)  We love and miss you Melba!


She made this dish for one of our many family gatherings at her house in Colorado and I had to have the recipe.  This casserole tasted so good and was a crowd pleaser.


This is an entire meal in one, although, I do like to serve this with an assortment of fresh fruit.  This is a great dish you can prepare ahead of time and freeze.  Just defrost and bake as directed.  You can use frozen hash browns to make it easy on yourself.  I prefer making homemade.  If serving a large group, I make one with sausage and one without in case there are any vegetarians in the group.  For the vegetarian version I will add more veggies like sauteed mushrooms and spinach.  There's nothing better than the day of a party or gathering than having all the work already done so you can enjoy time with your guests instead of being stuck in the kitchen working.



1 package Crescent Rolls
1 lb pork sausage, cooked
2 lbs cooked hash browns
2 bunch green onions, sliced
8 eggs, beaten with
2 tbsp milk
8 oz cheddar cheese


Unroll the crescent rolls.  Press in the bottom and sides of a 9" x 13" casserole dish.  Layer sausage on top of dough.  Layer the hash browns, cheese, eggs and onion.  Bake at 350 degrees for 45 - 60 minutes.

Serves 8
