How to Make Low Fat Country Style Breakfast Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 13x9x2-inch baking pan with vegetable oil spray.
  2. Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add 1 lb sausage (removed from casings) to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  4. Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel.
  5. Add 2 tablespoons maple syrup to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring to coat the sausage.
  6. Arrange the cooked sausage in a single layer in the prepared baking pan.
  7. Top the sausage with 4 cups frozen hash browns.
  8. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cheese, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons chopped green onions.
  9. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the hash browns.
  10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
  11. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of remaining chopped green onions and let cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares.
