Sausage Gravy Hash Browns Bake

Submitted by chefbren

"I came up with this one day after trying out other recipes on my children that they rejected. I have one son who doesn't eat eggs, so it makes hit hard to make a breakfast casserole everyone will eat. I finally did it with this one!"

Always looking for brunch recipes for pot lucks with friends. This recipe was a huge hit! Changed the preparation slightly, and cooked hash browns on large baking sheet before adding sausage, gravy, and cheese. Potatoes were crisp and delicious. Once all ingredients added together, baked until hot and bubbly and cheese melted. Yum!!!

So great!! I also have an egg allergy so this was something that I could eat along with the rest of my family!! We may have to make it a part of our weekly Sunday brunch!! Mmmm!

I made this exactly as stated. The sausage/gravy was great. But the potatoes ended up as a layer of mush and tasted like bad unseasoned instant mashed potatoes. I used brand name shredded hash browns and even dried them. If I try this again I'll put the potatoes on top so they can get brown and crispy.

This was good, though I forgot to layer the cheese between the hash browns and gravy, so I added it on top. It did seem to be missing something...though not sure what yet. Oh I did add some finely diced onion when I browned the sausage, out of habit from the recipe I normally use for Sausage Gravy.

Yummmm. I made this for my Easter brunch everyone loved it. I did use more milk than called for. Will definitely make again. Updated. I used one 26 oz bag of shredded hashbrowns and it was perfect. I like that this one does not have to be made ahead of time. Sometimes you need a great breakfast now, not tomorrow!
