Sausage Casserole

Perfect for those lazy Saturday morning brunches!  I love brunch, btw, I think it's probably my favorite meal ever.  That or breakfast.

Necessary ingredients:



First, brown the sausage!


Then, mix the sausage to the frozen hash browns and add some cheese!


Stir with abandon!

I like to use the hot Italian sausage in this case because I feel it really adds a nice kick to the finished casserole.  Mmm!


In a separate bowl, scramble 4-6 eggs (also depending on how much of the hash browns you used - I think I used about 2/3rds of the bag) with some milk/cream.



Mix everything together and pour into a 9x13 casserole dish.  Bake covered for approximately 30 minutes and then uncovered until the top browns slightly (or until you think it's done ... there's plenty of room for adjustments)!


The biscuits are an optional but tasty addition, especially if you put the mixture inside the biscuit like a breakfast sandwich!

  1. Sigh. I love sausage. Are potatoes allowed in your new lifestyle?

  2. @bananna - they are in the "limit" category since it's just carbs. but it is a real food, which is what really matters; altho these hash browns were already cut up and stuff ...

  5. @dave - i eat imaginary food all the time. tastes great, 0 calories. haven't you seen the movie hook? =]

    j/k ... real in contrast to processed. "raw" doesn't quite fit. i guess i could use "unprocessed".
