Here's a "new" recipe that I received several years ago, as part of a recipe e-zine to which I subscribed. I just never got around to trying it . . . until last week at that New Year's day brunch I hosted. Everyone love this, including the kids, so I've added it to my "Keepers" file. Hope you like it, too!

Best Brunch Casserole

5 to 8 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped into bite size pieces
1/2 lb. bacon
2 ham steaks, or 3 or 4 small ham slices
8 breakfast sausage links (I buy a box of the frozen ones)
Salt and pepper
Cajun seasoning or anything a bit spicy
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
Onion may be added also (I added 1 onion, chopped fine ~ Inky)

Fry up your potatoes and the bacon in separate skillets. (Inky's Note: I fried the chopped onion with the potatoes.)

After you finish with the bacon, slice the sausage into bite sized pieces and toss in the bacon grease to warm up, also slice the ham into bite sized pieces and add that to the skillet also.

Season the still cooking potatoes with salt and pepper and Cajun seasonings, to your taste. Break the cooked bacon into small pieces and add to the potatoes. Also add the sausage and ham in after they are warmed up. Add in the onion if you choose. When potatoes are cooked thru, transfer to a large baking dish or pan. I use a cake pan. Cover with cheddar cheese and place in the oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted. Serves 6

Inky's Note: I doubled everything, because I was serving a larger crowd, and baked it in a pan that's about 13 x 15". Yum! Yum!
