Do you like fluffy, creamy, and cheesy potatoes? Perfectly browned smoky sausage? Yeah? Because do I ever have a breakfast casserole for you! The first time I had this dish, my mother in law, Jules, made it for us on a visit to their house. I hadn't ever heard of such a thing, but it was completely brilliant and super easy to make. It also happens to be one of the GirlChild and my Hubster's favorite breakfasts. Now, when Mike and I first started dating, he hated eggs. HATED THEM. This saddened me greatly, as I am of the opinion that eggs are delicious and make most things even tastier....burgers, sandwiches, salads...everything. He has since come around to my way of thinking, and has eggs for or with breakfast every morning, and that includes on top of this little breakfast gem. It will be a great addition to your weekend breakfast menu, with plenty for leftovers the next day!
Easy Peasy Hashbrown Casserole:
- 1/2 to 3/4 bag of Frozen Shredded Hashbrowns
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1.5 cups shredded extra sharp cheddar
- 1 small onion, grated
- 1 package ground pork sausage, any variety
- 2.5 cups milk
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups crushed corn flakes (any brand will do)
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 1/4 cup finely chopped chives
- Brown sausage and drain. Add to large mixing bowl....preheat oven to 350.
- In large bowl with browned sausage, add all other ingredients (aside from corn flakes, chives, and butter) and mix well.
- Put mixture into large casserole dish, spread out evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, crushed corn flakes and chives together. Sprinkle on top of mixture in casserole dish. Into the oven this deliciousness goes for about 60-75 minutes, until golden bubbly brown.
We always top with an over easy egg......ALL OF THE YUMMIES!
