We combine frozen and fresh to make this super simple and delicious breakfast bake.
you're making mealtime meaningful.
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.
