This cheesy Sausage Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole, made with frozen hashbrowns, bulk pork sausage, and your favorite cheese, is perfect for Christmas morning or Sunday brunch.
This is my first new recipe in almost a month. I’ve been doing a lot of behind the scenes work, updating old recipes and photos, and added a new recipe card that gives you the option to change the serving size and amounts of ingredients needed for each updated and new recipe, along with nutritional information.
It’s the nutritional information part that is taking the longest to do. If I’m going to have it available, I want it to be as accurate as possible, so that means a lot of research.
I still have a bunch of recipes to update, but that’s going to have to wait, because this Sausage Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole is perfect for Christmas morning and you need the recipe right now! Seriously, it’s so good! Originally, I wanted it to be a crispy hashbrown casserole, but I’m really impatient and didn’t take the time to make the hashbrowns in a single layer like you are supposed to. Don’t be like me, follow the directions on the bag!

I used a Mexican cheese blend in this recipe. Cheddar would be great, too, or spice it up with habenero cheese if you want.
