Cheesy Breakfast Brunch Recipe #157616
We had this for breakfast this morning. The original recipe is from a local cookbook dedicated to the memory of a local teenager that died from a heart attack, Patrick W. Cox. I have made various changes in the original, so I hope you like it. We did.

SERVES 4 -6 , 1 pie
- 1/2 lb sausage
