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

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.
