Cheesy Breakfast Casserole With Sausage And Hash Browns And Eggs
This delicious easy to make cheesy breakfast casserole with sausage and hash browns and eggs can be made fresh or make ahead the day before and just heat up in the morning.
Cheesy breakfast casserole with sausage, eggs, and hash browns is definitely one of our family’s favorite breakfast meals. It is indulgent, healthy, and fulfilling with lots of protein and veggies. If you don’t have hash browns you can prepare this breakfast casserole with potatoes just cut them up into small cubes and your all set.
What I love most about this breakfast casserole recipe is that it can easily be adapted in so many ways by simply substituting the sausage with ham, bacon, chicken, or any type of meat, vegetables, spices, and even bread.
At least twice per month, I will make this cheesy breakfast casserole vegetarian with just vegetables, potatoes, eggs, and cheese like tomato, zucchini, mushrooms, bell peppers, and onion.
If you looking for a vegan breakfast casserole just remove all the meats, egg, and cheese and pack your casserole with lots of hash browns or fresh diced potato, vegetables, and spices and I promise it will taste amazing.
