Cheesy Sausage, Egg and Hash Brown Casserole: Holiday

November 12, 2022

For me holiday cooking is very traditional and  synonymous with comfort.

Welcoming family, friends and gathering together around the table is sorta what I live for.

It's seems to me the messier the Kitchen, especially during the Holiday, equals happiness...

Truly, truly I am not opposed to messes-at all-just call me CrAzy! 😊

So when I find a recipe that fits the bill whether in my home or online, I want to share it with everyone and anyone who drops by. 

So today I guess that is YOU!

This casserole is easily modified to appeal to the taste buds of all of your guests and can be served for breakfast or brunch very easily- you could even eliminate the sausage if vegetarian is your happy place.

Breakfast casseroles have been a tradition in my family for years and years.

I personally love them because they are a one dish wonder and while it is baking in the oven I am able to enjoy my family!

Afterall that is what the Holidays are all about.

One of the best things about this casserole are the easy ingredients and the availability to find them in any grocery store.
