Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so naturally, we believe in starting out strong with a meal like this hearty egg, sausage, and potato casserole. We take a few shortcuts with this dish, using frozen hash browns and a seasoned sausage, like mild Italian sausage, then toss in a little freshness with diced red pepper and green onions as garnish.

A meal like this is just as tasty as a breakfast-for-dinner recipe too! We like to serve this with a slice of warm crusty bread as toast topped a dollop of our favorite jam or with a cool fresh fruit salad on the side. When we want food that is delicious and hearty, we go to a combination of simple ingredients mixed with a few shortcuts to put together a wonderful meal.
