Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the breakfast sausage for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it into crumbles until fully cooked. In the same skillet, add bacon and cook for another 5-6 minutes until crispy. Set half the bacon aside for topping.
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer the bottom with shredded potatoes, covering the base evenly. Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the potatoes, followed by half of the cheddar cheese.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined. Add Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper, mixing until smooth.
- Pour the egg and milk custard evenly over the layered ingredients. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and crumble the reserved bacon on top.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the cover from the casserole and bake for 45-55 minutes, until golden brown and set in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before cutting into squares. Serve warm, garnished with chopped green onions.

Notes
Squeeze excess moisture from shredded potatoes to prevent a watery casserole. Use a food thermometer to ensure it reaches 160°F for safety.
