		I made this for a recent family brunch and it got rave reviews.  I prepped everything the night before, refrigerated it and just popped it in the oven an hour before brunch.  The casserole had lots of flavor and the hash browns gave it a hearty consistency that left everyone satisfied without additional side dishes or toast.  I adjusted the recipe to suit an 11 x 8-inch  baking dish buy reducing the eggs to 10 and milk to 1/2 cup.  If desired, you can use a different kind of cheese.  I used half Cheddar and half Pepper Jack.  I wouldn't hesitate to make this again, especially if I needed to do most of my cooking in advance.  (This recipe was submitted in 2002. It was tested and photographed in May 2015.)

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes or until a knife inserted near center comes out clean.
