Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

otein & Dairy:
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups of milk
  • 2 pounds of ground breakfast sausage
  • 16 ounces of softened cream cheese
  • 2 cups of shredded cheese
  • Hashbrowns:
  • 32 ounces of frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
Seasonings:
  • ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon of onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly coat a 9×13-inch glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Crush Graham Crackers for Garnish: Place 2 full graham cracker sheets in a resealable plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a meat mallet or the bottom of a sturdy glass. Set the crumbs aside to use as a topping.
  3. Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, softened butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly until fully incorporated and a thick consistency is achieved.
  4. Melt the Chocolate: Place the chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring well between each interval, until the mixture is melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
Layer the Dessert:
  1. Arrange 6 full graham cracker sheets in a single layer at the bottom of the prepared dish.
  2. Drizzle ⅓ of the melted chocolate over the crackers and spread it out evenly.
  3. Flatten the prepared peanut butter mixture with your hands and place it over the chocolate layer, covering the surface evenly.
  4. Pour another ⅓ of the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread it smoothly.
  5. Add a second layer of 6 more graham cracker sheets on top.
  6. Finish by pouring the remaining chocolate over the top layer and spreading it evenly across the surface.
  7. Add Topping & Chill: Sprinkle the reserved crushed graham cracker crumbs over the top layer. Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or until the dessert is fully set.
  8. Slice and Serve: Once firm, cut into squares and enjoy this rich, layered treat!

Notes

For a firmer consistency, chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours.
For a less sweet flavor, try using natural peanut butter.
Adjust the chocolate to your taste—swap semi-sweet with dark or milk chocolate as desired.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
