If you all are looking for a great breakfast idea, try this Sausage Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole. It is so appetizing.
This Breakfast Casserole is very filling and it does work up quickly. It is also very versatile. You can use bacon or ham instead of the sausage, or use any combination of the three. Also you could use any variety of sausage that you prefer.
We prefer sharp cheddar cheese in the casserole and mozzarella cheese to top the casserole. But you could change up the cheeses to whatever cheeses you prefer.

- Frozen hash browns should be thawed before they are baked into a casserole or used in another dish.
