Sausage and Potato Breakfast Casserole

Submitted by surus

"This is a super easy and delicious brunch dish. I found it on Epicurious.com. I made it this weekend and doubled it. I also used cubed hash browns instead of shredded and did not use a glass pan. I think I would add to the cooking time by 5-10 minutes to accomodate these changes. I also omitted the green onion and suggest using O'Brien potatoes as a variation. Everyone loved this. I reheated leftovers the next day and added eggs which was another tasty concoction."

This was easy and good. I added 1 tsp seasoned salt , 1tsp. cumin, 1/2 tsp cayenne and 1/4 onion (instead of the green onions.

As stated, this is super easy. We make this often, especially during the holidays when we have guests. Put it together the night before and throw it in the oven the next morning. Serve with scrambled eggs. From Bon Appetit, November 1997.

This is a really good dish. We like to serve it with scrambled eggs and biscuits. It can also be made ahead, which makes it even easier. Thanks for posting.
