During the holidays or when I know we are having company, I love making casseroles for breakfast. It will feed several people, I love making ahead and everyone seems to enjoy them. A new favorite breakfast casserole of mine is called Hash Brown & Sausage Breakfast Casserole.

I know sausage casserole is a favorite for so many, but this one takes it over the top. Adding potatoes, as the base of the casserole, just makes this casserole more hearty and filling.

The original recipe calls for packaged hash browns, but I wanted to use fresh ingredients. So, I made my own hash browns, which are super easy to do.

I take a few potatoes, wash them well, use a handheld grater and grate enough potatoes to make 30 ounces. I don’t take the skin off. That’s just one more step I don’t have to do. You could also use a food processor with a grater blade if you are tight on time or if you are making more than one casserole. I will then cook them for a few minutes in the microwave so they aren’t completely raw when I make the casserole.

I have found out the hard way that putting raw potatoes in the casserole isn’t good at all. They don’t get fully cooked and there is nothing worse than hard, partially raw potatoes.

This recipe is certainly a crowd-pleaser and a tradition at our home for Christmas breakfast now.

You could also make this the night before and just pop it in the oven the next day. You will need to add a few more minutes of cooking time if the casserole is really cold.

Wake up your guests and family with the aroma of this casserole!
