Sausage Strata from The Meeting Street Inn in Charleston

We enjoyed this so much at breakfast that we asked Betty, the cook, for the recipe:

She used a giant pan, so I'll probably halve or third it for a 9 x 13 pan.


1 package of bulk sausage browned and drained.

1 bag of Jimmy Dean Skillets (If you can find that)--basically, it's a mix of hash brown potatoes, green peppers and onions

1 large spoon of minced garlic

1 cup chopped bell peppers

1 cup chopped sweet onions

2 cartons (1 quart each) of liquid eggs

1 carton heavy cream

4 cups shredded Parmesan cheese

4 cups shredded Swiss cheese

4 cups shredded cheddar cheese

4 cups cooked bacon, crumbled

1 T. sea salt

Mix all dry ingredients, then add peppers and onions.  Layer all that over the sausage and top with cheeses.  Mix eggs and cream and salt in a pitcher and pour it over.  Cover with wax paper and foil and cook at 325 for two hours or until it looks done.

Two hours???

That's what it says.
