Sausage Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole

The other morning my good friend Mackenzie and I got together to make our Tuesday morning recipes. She was adamant about her “moms sausage hash brown breakfast casserole” so we decided to whip that and cinnamon roll french toast casserole together and have a delicious morning. I have to say – this breakfast casserole is AMAZING.

It was super simple to put together, with a layer of potatoes, melty cheese, hearty eggs, and the right amount of sausage for protein.

Savory, for those that don’t always love a sweet morning option, and incredibly filling. 

• eggs
• pork sausage (jimmy dean) or turkey sausage
• heavy cream
• frozen shredded hash browns
• cheddar cheese
• salt
• black pepper
• garlic powder

Casserole Substitutions

Now one of the amazing things about Mom’s Sausage Breakfast Casserole is that you can really alter the layers quite simply. You can change pork sausage to turkey sausage, change frozen hash browns to tater tots, and even alter the cheese (although Cheddar is my favorite personally). 

This hash brown casserole is also great with ham, adding bits of bacon and even bears the weight of changing cream to milk if needed. 

Hash browns >>>> Tater Tots

Cheddar Cheese>>>> Any Cheese

Heavy Cream>>>> Milk

Pork Sausage>>>> Ham, Bacon, Turkey Sausage, Italian Sausage

What can you eat with Sausage Casserole?

This is such a savory dish, that having something sweet like Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole or warm Southern Fried Apples is a great choice.

How long can you keep Sausage Casserole in the Fridge?

If you are around here long, I say the same thing every time – I do not do leftovers. Its probably something from my child hood but not a huge fan. In any case, because this has a meat products, I wouldn’t keep for more than a day or two. 

Can you prep Sausage Breakfast Casserole Overnight?

Yes! If you need a great Christmas casserole or thanksgiving morning casserole, this a perfect one to prep the night before and be ready to just pop in the oven without the mess of all the dishes. You can prep this with layering the ingredients, topping with foil, and putting in fridge overnight. 

Other good holiday morning breakfast recipes are : Fried Breakfast Potatoes, Orange Bread with glaze, Blueberry Donuts, or Blueberry Bread. You can also find my recipes listed above for Skillet Cinnamon Apples and French Toast Casserole Bake.
