Hash Brown and Egg Casserole

Description

This is my family’s recipe that has been handed down through the years. We’ve always used the maple flavored pork sausage but any kind is good. This casserole is a nice and cozy breakfast or brunch meal that everyone will enjoy. It’s got the perfect taste with lots of cheese. Yum! Be sure to use a baking dish that is deep enough to cover with aluminum foil.
