    Are you ever at a loss when it comes to feeding a crowd for breakfast? No one wants to stand at the stove for hours managing multiple pans of breakfast foods. Why not combine them into one delicious dish?

    You'll love this hash brown breakfast casserole because it combines all of your favorite breakfast foods. Shredded hash browns, eggs, cheese, and sausage all come together in this easy breakfast casserole.

    Once baked, simply slice into squares and serve! Leftovers can be frozen and reheat well.

    What kind of sausage to use

    For this breakfast casserole, I like to use 16 ounces of hot turkey sausage and 16 ounces of mild turkey sausage. You're welcome to use your favorite breakfast sausage for this recipe.

    I've also made this casserole with pork sausage and it turns out great.

    I suggest using a package of hot sausage and mild sausage because the spicy sausage helps add flavor to the casserole. If you are opposed to any heat in your foods, feel free to use all mild sausage.

    White casserole dish filled with hash browns, eggs, cheese, and sausageMake ahead

    This casserole is easy to make ahead the night before, saving time in the morning. Simply prepare your casserole per the instructions, but before baking, cover and refrigerate overnight.

    Preheat your oven in the morning, uncover your casserole, and bake according to the directions.

    Freezing your casserole

    Looking to save time in the mornings, without sacrificing a quality breakfast? Make this breakfast casserole on the weekend, then freeze in individual servings to warm up during the week.

    Bake your casserole and allow to cool completely. Cut into single serving squares, wrap in foil, and store in a freezer bag. Take out a square to thaw in the refrigerator the night before.

    An individual serving can be reheated in the microwave (times vary based on appliance - use your best judgement) or reheated in a toaster oven (about 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit).
