2. Prepare Baking Pan: Lightly spray a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan with vegetable oil spray to prevent sticking.

3. Cook Sausage: Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the smoked link sausage and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes or until browned, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.

4. Add Maple Syrup: Once the sausage is browned, wipe the skillet with a paper towel to remove any excess grease. Then, add the maple syrup to the skillet and cook for an additional minute, stirring to coat the ingredients evenly.

5. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage and maple syrup mixture with the hash browns, nonfat milk, egg substitute, fat-free American cheese, low-fat American cheese, Parmesan cheese, dry mustard, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

6. Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

7. Garnish: Once the casserole is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and sprinkle chopped green onions over the top for added flavor and freshness.

8. Let Cool: Allow the casserole to cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting it into squares. This helps to set the dish and makes it easier to serve.

9. Serve: Serve the Country-Style Breakfast Casserole warm and enjoy the delicious blend of flavors with your family and friends.

Additional Tips:

• Make Ahead: If you prefer to prepare this casserole ahead of time, you can cover it with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator until ready to bake. When you’re ready to enjoy it, simply follow the baking instructions as usual.

• Reheating: To reheat leftovers, place the cold casserole in a cold oven, set the thermostat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until heated through.
